Awesome car!!

 

Beautiful! For those who have that kind of coin. I don't get why you would advertise that type of car on CL..

 

wow....but $220K ?????

 

There is a nice looking black / white top / red interior one with 100 miles since frame off resto for only $150k in the Buick Bugle.

 

Maybe drop off one zero...?

 

No, that would be way to cheap. These cars bring big money. I have seen recent sales on Limited's in the $150k+ range.

 

That's absurd. Who in the real world would spend that much for such a weird year? It's not a 55-57...Yuck! It seems like our economy is back to doing well again, if a car this ugly can command such a steep price.

 

he probably has 6 figures into the Chrome plating bill alone..lol

 

I LOVE it! If I had the means I would make a play for it in a heartbeat.

 

58 Limited's are special and pricey for a number of reasons, when new, they solidly had Cadillac and other luxury makes squarely in their crosshairs(57 had the Roadmaster 75 that wondered into that territory but 58 took it a step further as a seperate model with even more length and luxury), production numbers for coupes and convertibles was incredibly low so examples are becoming harder and harder to find. These 58's have a huge following. Actually, the 58 was a rebodied 57, the 57 really should not be lumped with the 55-56 as it was a different car). Ugly? That is squarely a matter of opinion, obviously for the money they are bringing regularly your opinion may not be in line with most.

 

I know a guy...

 

This ad has my "spidey senses tingling". I think it's a phishing expedition or a scam. Only 4 pictures of a car that for the money being asked should warrant a book. The other thing is 6 figure cars usually don't advertise on CL with a propaganda blurb either.
There's just something not right with this... it's a gorgeous car, that is if it's real and not some skid covertly photographing the nice car that pulled up in the neighbor's driveway.

 

You may be right Marc. As Mike already said "why is it on CL?"

 

I would buy this one over the red one any day though https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/buick/limited/2069001.html
Bugs the heck out of me that someone is asking that kind of money for the red one and can't even have the correct wheels and covers on it.

 

I was at Mecum Kissimmee where a beautiful '58 Limited convertible sold for $110,000 including the 10% fee. If I was 15 years younger and had the coin it would have been mine. Love the 57 and 58's.

Yeah but the red ones are worth twice as much ; )

 

I'm not normally a green car guy but, this car is stunning in that shade of green. Love it!

 

OK, I will quote you if and when I ever decide to sell my recent acquisition but not in the next 10 years
