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 1,000 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.
