1958 Buick Limited
Revived in 1958 as the “ultimate Buick”, the Buick Limited series was a slightly more restrained version of the other massively-chromed Buick models of that year.
The Limited series featured a body color-keyed insert, rather than the chromed side panel trim of other models. It was decorated with fifteen slanted hash marks (three groups of five).
The Limited also featured a unique wraparound tail light lens broken up by four chrome bands, rather than the heavy chrome tail light housings found on other models. Rear bumper “Dagmars” housed “Dual Jet” backup lights to complete the look.
Buick only sold 7,438 Limiteds, due in part to the price. The base price of a Buick Limited four-door hardtop sedan was $221 higher than Cadillac’s extended deck Series 62 four-door hardtop sedan. Cadillac sold 13,335 Series 62 sedans.
