1958 Buick Limited Riviera Hardtop
This 1958 Buick Limited is a rare four-door hardtop Riviera model, powered by a 364ci Nailhead V8 paired with a Flight Pitch Dynaflow automatic transmission. Finished in Blue Mist over a blue interior, this Limited comes equipped with factory air conditioning, power windows, power steering, power-assisted brakes, and a push-button AM radio.
Historical Significance
The 1958 Limited was a one-year-only flagship model, built to mark Buick's 50th anniversary as part of General Motors. Offered in convertible, two-door hardtop, and four-door hardtop configurations, the Limited shared a wheelbase with the Super and Roadmaster models but extended eight inches longer, giving it a total length of 227.1 inches.
This particular example is one of just 5,571 four-door hardtops produced for the model year.
