I am a really big fan of the "Vista" wrap around rear window, also available on the Olds. Usually I don't warm up to four doors, but GM did a great job in the style of this car eliminating the "B" pillar and the goofy looking quarter in the back seat that just ruined the flow of the roofline IMO. I had the Oldsmobile version of this car and I loved it.

It was produced for the Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac

as well--all 5 General Motors car lines.  Here is a

All of these GM vehicles were made better looking by the vista roofline. Great looking cars.

Nice looking car, but some dubious claims. Puerto Rico has plenty of rain, and being a relatively small island surrounded by salt water there just may have been some salt exposure. 🤔

 

If only they could get it to move forward 20 feet before taking the pics.

Well I like it; it looks like a very cool car. A few things pop up... The first is that it's been imported from Puerto Rico? I'd want a lot more information that!!  The car is for based on the seller not using it which means it's been sitting a lot!  Better not road drive it too aggressively on your road test because I have found wheel cylinders and master cylinders start leaking when not used. The list of things to do to get roadworthy gets long when the car hasn't been driven. Step cautiously on this one!

Sounds like excellent advice. A lot of people don't realize that cars deteriorate when setting leading up to the vehicle becoming a cash sponge. Pay particular attention to anything made of rubber.

Love the glass. Bet these things pancaked in a roll over.

I was in an accident in a 59 Buick flat top, went over a cliff down 120 feet , rolled and the top was dented but not flattened. The post held up. The speedometer was buried going around  a curve first. Had my neck broken. The other 5 had minor injuries . This was up by Plattsburg N.Y. in 1960.
