Description for Buick Other 1958

LaSalle Classic Cars presents this excellent 1958 Buick Limited Convertible! LaSalle Classic Cars is specialized in high quality American cars for the 1950’s. We are located in the Netherlands. Europe. near the Amsterdam Airport. Up for auction is this 1958 Buick Limited 756 Convertible. It is an excellent restored condition and very rare collector car! Buick built some great cars in the 1950s. but without argument. the most sumptuous and lavishly equipped cars were the one-year-production-only 1958 700 Series B-58 Limiteds. Prior to World War II. the Limited was Buick’s most luxurious car and discontinued because they were so luxurious Cadillac sales were suffering. Following the war. the Roadmaster was the top of the Buick line until 1958 when Harley Earl permitted the Limited to be produced. The car carried magnificence to a new level with nearly 1. 00 pounds of chrome and trim on the car alone. Coinciding with a severe recession that began in late 1957. the car was a hit but few people could afford to purchase one with a sticker price that was solidly in Cadillac range. Only 839 convertibles in total were produced…ever! The heads of GM cancelled the project the very next year making the Limited a one-year-only model. There were several unique 1958-only features. and the whole style of the car kept the military jet fighters of the day in mind. The survival rate is quite low on these cars with an estimated 75 or so still in existence. LaSalle Classic Cars is proud to offer this excellent frame-off restored 1958 Buick Limited Convertible! This is body number 743. Meticulously restored starting from 1995 and finished in 1997 in the Netherlands. Following the restoration. the car was carefully stored in a climate controlled garage. and the car appears today as if the restoration took place just recently. The “Seminole Red” paint. the chrome and trim are just about without flaw. and the interior is equally as beautiful. The convertible top is white vinyl as per original. The convertible top was replaced recently as were the tires. The original air suspension has been converted to coil springs. The air compressor and air tank are still of the car. It’s been recently serviced and it’s a wonderful car to drive! The car runs. shifts. steers and brakes as it should. The car has a Dutch registration so there are no fees no taxes for other European countries!
