Vehicle Description
This 1958 Buick Special Convertible is a beautifully restored
Harley Earl masterpiece that is loaded with chrome and desirable
options. In 1958, Harley Earl's final year with GM, the Buicks
underwent a pretty substantial re-design from nose to tail. Gone
were the "three-hole" and "four-hole" ventiports that adorned the
front fenders of Buicks for the past decade. In their place was the
new "drawer-pull" style Fashion-Aire Dynastar grills that were made
up of 160 chrome squares, as well as upgraded dual headlights. The
stylings on the rear quarters were also given a facelift with the
upgraded side trim which gave the Special an elongated and elevated
exterior look. Even the trunk deck lids were upgraded with
"Special" spelled-out across them. All of these chromed upgrades
led to '58 Buicks being deemed by some as the "Kings of Chrome."
This particular '58 Buick is believed to have been restored in 2007
and spent time is private collections since then. Under the hood on
this Special Convertible is a 364 Cubic Inch Nailhead V8 with an
upgraded Single 4 barrel carburetor that provides plenty of power
with improved reliability. The 364 Nailhead is mated up to an
Automatic transmission that anybody can drive with ease. This
particular Buick Special is particularly well-optioned. Power
Steering makes driving this classic Buick substantially easier.
Power brakes gives this Buick plenty of stopping power and has been
upgraded to a dual master setup. The black cloth power convertible
top is in fantastic condition and goes up and down with the simple
push of a button. This Special convertible sits on 4 wide whitewall
radial tires wrapped around wire wheel, that together give this car
a stunning 50s look. The exterior of this '58 Special has been
refinished in a stunning Seminole Red and Glacier White, two-tone
paint scheme. The interior is stunning too! The front and rear
bench seats have been recovered in Red and White Vinyl, matching
the overall look of the car. The dash, door panels, and steering
wheel are all in superb shape and all appear to be stock. The dash
which is in its stock configuration is equipped with a 120 MPH
Speedometer, Temperature Gauge, Oil Pressure Gauge, Amp Gauge, Gas
Gauge,Clock and Push-Button Sonomatic Radio. Whether you've been
searching for a chromed out 50s masterpiece to add to your
