Hi motorTranz, "Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?" Yes!" NICE! You're welcome.

[@55points]

Its incredibly huge and flashy. There was no problem identifying a Buick back then whatsoever. I do not recall ever seeing one back in the sixties when I was a kid. Glad it survived and looking like brand new. Thank goodness we have people out there who want to save our Automobile history. .

Hi 55points, First one I recall seeing and glad to be able to share it on this Channel with you. "Thank goodness we have people out there who want to save our Automobile history." I agree.

Thankfully this car was designed and built before the phrase 'less is more' was even thought of. I picture Dad coming home from the Buick dealership and all the neighbors pouring out of their houses just to look. Oh the jealousy! 50's GM excess never fails to amaze and please. Outstanding video Lou!

Some of the station wagons back then were beautiful, like this one. This one was a pillarless “hardtop” design (no B pillar), and the C pillar was thin and curved, just like a 2-door coupe.

When I was 10 years old, my best friends mother bought a copper colored wagon like this. It was awesome! She traded in her 57 wagon because she wanted a/c and power windows.

Designed by Harley Earl and Ned Nickels. What a gorgeous, glorious machine! The 1958 Buick and Oldsmobile won the disputed title of "King of Chrome". What awesome excess in design! This one is the Century series Caballero wagon, a masterpiece of design and engineering. It worked out to about $1.00 per pound of car for your money at the Buick dealer in 1958, so for $4,000. you got 4,000 pounds of car. This was the last year of the original Buick product lines, in 1959 they would all have new names for a completely new low, long and sleek design. This car has a few styling cues taken directly from Harley Earl's amazing 1951 GM LeSabre concept car.

Hi, Lou! With that hardtop styling and ALLLLLLL that chrome, you could make the argument that this was the ultimate station wagon. You can even hear the cardinals singing about it! LOL! Ironically, there were no portholes on these cars, as Buick had temporarily abandoned them. (They returned on the 1960 models.) Rambler had brought out the first hardtop station wagons in 1956, producing them through 1960 at just a handful per year. GM, through Oldsmobile and Buick, followed, but only offered them in 1957-58. Mercury made all its wagons in the hardtop style from 1957-1960, and Chrysler offered them from 1960-1964 at Dodge and the Chrysler brand. BTW, Caballero is Spanish for "horseman" or "gentleman". Many thanks to you and Steve for taking us along in this fine haulin' Chromemobile! Also a happy coincidence coming across that '57 Chevy. I also come across an occasional classic when I'm out riding in my wagon!

So cool. Love that classic color. Classic colors can be difficult to do with modern paints as the cast of the color can change with panel shapes, sometimes it does not look right. This one works great.

I bet Steve had to go to the bank with a front loader for the chrome restoration alone! What a beautiful car!

I never liked the 58 Buick or Olds. Until this one. I think the color makes it work for me. Makes the body blend in with the chrome. Just beautiful.

My 58 Super, the speedometer ribbon did not change colors. But when it was at its max speed the black 5 mph pegs disappeared and the ribbon was solid red.

1958 was GM's massive chrome year. Our family had a pink '58 Olds 98 that vied with the Buicks for the amount of chrome title. 😁
