Convertible Coupe

The Buick Limited was offered by Buick from 1936 to 1942 and then revived in 1958 as Buick's top-of-the-line luxury car. The 1958 Limited had a 127.5 inch wheelbase (which it shared with the 50 and 75 Series) but a unique and very length of 227.1-inchs. The 1958 models featured a 'Fashion-Aire' grille cast with 160 chrome squares shaped to maximize the amount of reflected light. They had quad headlamps with broad chrome rear quarter side panels, a unique Limited wraparound tail lamp lenses enclosed in chrome housings and rear bumper 'Dagmars' housing 'Dual Jet' back-up lamps. The Limited was offered in three bodystyles, including a 2- and 4-door hardtop, and a convertible. Power was from a 364 cubic-inch V8 engine delivering 300 horsepower. With prices over $5,000, they were more expensive than most Cadillac models. Total production for 1958 was just 7,438 examples. The Limited Series 700 was a one-year only name usage, as the following year it was changed to the Electra 225.

This elegant convertible - of which they only produced 839 examples, was priced at $5,125 with air conditioning, the only option available on the fully-loaded Limited.

Convertible Coupe

This is a one-year only styling and series. Production was low with just 839 examples produced. Equipped with a powerful V8, smooth automatic transmission and full power options, they were elegant and exclusive. This example has been treated to a full frame-off restoration.
