Hi, Lou! In 1959, Buick came out not only with totally new "Delta wing" styling with those fabulous fins and those impossible to ignore cocked headlamps, but also with completely new series names across the board. The LeSabre series replaced the Special at the entry level, the Invicta took over for the Century, and the Electra and Electra 225 succeeded the Super and Roadmaster. While they were pretty bold, they did back off on the chrome quite a bit compared to the '58s. I can understand how family can influence your taste in cars. Just like Paul took after his uncle, I myself wouldn't mind having a 1961 Chevy as my grandfather did. This is definitely one you don't get to see often. Many thanks to you and Paul for letting us see it!

My uncle had a 1959 LeSabre painted Tampico Red. I aways admired it. Bought new in fall, 1958 when I was a mere babe. I have the 1958 license plate from it with these odd chrome edging pieces surrounding it. Those gas pedal start Buicks always start with a flourish, and this one proves it. Thanks, Paul and Lou, for showing it in this video. Brings back lots of memories.

Great storey about the beer cans, and that was worth the trip to Philly. It's a beautiful survivor and there aren't many around. Thanks.

GM made quick and big changes for the 1959 lineup yet had all their divisions producing such uniquely styled cars to make 1959 a model year that is unmatched by few other years.

I bought one of these in 1969 for 35 dollars. The odd things about this car was an inclosed drive shaft and to engage the starter you had to be in park, turn the key to on and then push the accelerator to the floor. Was yours that way too?

When I was much younger, I had a mostly negative opinion of Harley Earl's late 1950s designs. I had a similar dislike for most of Virgil Exner's Chrysler designs. The exceptions were the 1957 and 1958 Plymouth Furys...absolutely stunning cars! Well, as the years passed and my youthful/harsh opinions mellowed, I realized that both Earl and Exner were very much in tune with American culture and tastes. The 1950s were a transformational time and "modern" designs were finding their way into virtually all domestic consumer goods. Clothing/shoes and hair styles, furniture, appliances, architecture, automobiles and popular music. World War II and Korea were long over and America was proudly leading the world in standard of living and its consumer goods were the envy of the world. Americans eagerly awaited the introduction of the latest "new and improved" products... from refrigerators and Hi Fi record players to the latest from Detroit. Harley and Virgil understood perfectly, what the car buying public wanted...and delivered with lots of chrome to spare. Two tone paint, giant tail fins, huge V8 engines and styling that set tradition on its ear...and it all fit perfectly! I'm well into my 70s now, and I take my hat off to both Mr. Earl and Mr. Exner...I simply can't imagine our automotive history without them...BRAVO!

Harley Earl retired in 1958 because GM mandated a 65 year old retirement age. His original plan was for GM's divisions to use warmed over 1958 designs. However, while Earl was in Europe in the summer of 1956, Bill Mitchell quashed those plans after spying on Chrysler Corporation's upcoming 1957 cars.

I have a similar walking to school story. I was about five years old in 1965, walking one morning to school and I had always liked looking at the parked cars. I always felt that the front ends of the cars were like faces, I was fanciful and imaginative even back then LOL. Anyway I saw the gray rear end with the red lights and the slanted brows that reminded me of the cartoons that I watched when the characters were angry. I began to walk a little bit quicker past the car and then turned around and saw the front end. I kid you not, I ran past the next five cars making sure I could get away! :-). Later, after school let out I had the crossing guard cross me to the other side of the street so I wouldn’t be frightened by the sinister mean looking car :-)

Takes me back to the Go Go's video, Our Lips are Sealed where they drove a red drop top, almost a beater. Paul's ride up close was terrific! Love the color and the chrome outlining the fins. Taking the key out after starting was neat. My FIL had a Chevy with the fins of that era, I don't think they had the chrome tho. Lou, you mentioned the horn under hood & I thought you missed it. Then came Paul's double treatment of the 4 noter. Awesome!

@@loucostabile I had to sell, last year. my beloved orange Audi A2. I had really hoped to send it back to the States when the stupid 25 year rule expired in 2025. It wasn't to be. One of the German guys who expressed an interest in buying it for his wife, had me show it to her. She took one look and said, in German of course, 'oh, no way! I'm not driving an orange car! I told you, I want a silver car!'. She was basically yelling this at her husband. Simply re-enforced my opinion that silver is far too popular, therefore, since I don't want to be like everybody else, I hate silver. But that Buick did look good in silver. I enjoy your vids....

Reliable car, sure would like to have it back.
