1958 Buick Special

1958 Buick Special Sedan – 45K Mile Survivor – Mostly Original – Rare!

The King of Chrome – Buick's Boldest Year

If you're looking for an honest, original '50s cruiser with big style and presence, this is it. The 1958 Buick Special Sedan (Model 41) stands out as one of the most dramatic, chrome-heavy designs Buick ever built. This is a clean, well-preserved survivor with only 45,000 believed-original miles. Finished in rare Spray Green with a Glacier White top and an all-original two-tone Cordaveen green interior, it offers the right look and the right history. It was pulled from a long-term estate, where it was enjoyed, shown, and driven. A pure, unrestored driver with charm you can't fake.

Condition:
This is an unrestored survivor. It's never been taken apart or messed with. The body is straight, solid, and rust-free. The paint is mostly original with great patina and shows nicely. Chrome shows minor age but presents strong throughout. The interior is very clean with a few small imperfections. Mechanically sorted with recent fuel and brake work. Lights, horn, radio, and gauges work as they should. Undercarriage is solid and dry. Trunk is one of the nicest original examples you'll find.

Exterior:
Finished in factory Spray Green with a Glacier White roof, this car still wears about 80% of its original paint. Both lower sides from front fenders through the doors have been repainted at some point, blending well with the original surfaces. Up close, you'll see chips, wear, and patina throughout, but from ten feet, it shows clean and complete. Chrome trim is original and in excellent condition. Bumpers show minor aging but are presentable. Front hood chrome has cracking but is complete. Emblems, gun sights, and glass are excellent. Original hubcaps and whitewall radials complete the look.

Interior:
Factory two-tone green Cordaveen interior is completely original and well-preserved. The front seat has a seam split and some fabric separation, but nothing worth replacing. Rear seat is excellent. Dash pad is soft but could be restuffed. Dash fascia and chrome are clean. Door panels show well, with one tear on the lower right rear. Headliner is excellent. Rubber floor mats are intact and show well. Gauges, interior lights, horn, and radio are all functioning. Steering wheel is in excellent condition.

Mechanical:
Powered by the original 364 cubic inch Fireball V8, rated at 250 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Backed by a Dynaflow automatic transmission. This car runs and drives like a low-mile survivor should. It starts easy, idles smooth, and pulls strong. The fuel system has been serviced and the brakes have been rebuilt. This is a base-model Buick with no power steering or brakes, which adds to its purity and rarity. You won't find many left like this.

Underside & Trunk:
Underneath is clean, solid, and untouched. Frame, floors, and rockers are solid. No signs of patchwork or rust issues. The trunk is one of the best original examples we've seen, with the original mat, correct cardboard panels, factory jack with original tag, and spare all intact.

Closing Statement:
You don't find '58 Buicks like this anymore. This car is a true survivor with integrity. It has the look, the story, and the road presence that makes people stop and stare. If you want a Buick from the most over-the-top styling year ever made, and you want one that hasn't been messed with, this is it. Drive it, show it, and enjoy it.
