Description:
This 1958 Buick Century Convertible is a gorgeous luxuryconvertible that is absolutely loaded with options! In 1958,Buick's production dipped, and the GM marque slipped to fifth placein the industry having been replaced by another GM brand,Oldsmobile. Nonetheless, the 1958 designs have become some of themost eye-catching Buicks in its history. In fact, Buick's GeneralManager Edward Ragsdale described the 1958 Buicks as "dazzling" andfor fans of chrome, stainless, and overall fifties excess, the word"dazzling" is most fitting. Up front, the most striking changeoccurred to the "drawer pull" grille that was made up of 160floating chrome squares. The most iconic design element of the '58Buicks is most visible from the side profile, that being, thebright sweepspear that runs down the rear quarter panels on eachside of the car. The other major change occurring to the sides ofthe '58 Buick was the removal of the ventiports holes that had beena part of Buick's designs since its 1949 models. At the tail of the1958 Buicks, a new-look rear chrome bumper was added that happenedto be the largest in the industry at the time. In 1958, Buickoffered five distinct series, starting with the entry-level Specialand culminating with the top-of-the-line Limited series. Theintermediate level '58 Buicks, consisted of the Century, Super, andRoadmaster series. While the Super only was offered in two bodystyles, both the Century and Roadmaster featured a greater varietyof body styles including convertible models. The Century sportednumerous factory standard options including Dynaflow Automatictransmissions, full wheelcovers, padded dashes, and clocks, amongother items. Sitting atop the Century hierarchy was the convertiblemodels that were also equipped with power windows and power frontseats. In total, only 2,558 Century Convertibles were produced in1958, which makes this particular example quite a rare piece ofautomotive history. Under the hood is a 364 Cubic Inch "Nailhead"V8 engine fed by an upgraded single 4 barrel Edelbrock carburetor.The 364 Nailhead V8 is backed by a Dynaflow Automatic Transmissionthat makes this classic Buick a breeze for just about anybody todrive.
