Nice comparative photography, David. These pictures make me think...
that this car is begging for some detailing. You know, bringing out a little more chrome! I agree that it looks good, but I will admit I thought the GM cars were overdone when they were new. Why have they "improved with age"? Maybe because the industry went away from that look pretty fast, leaving the 58s as a "special look".

Brooklin 1958 Buick
Yes, great looking model. I have the mountain Laurel. Only issue for me, the wheels have too much space between wheel wells. Should have a lower stance. Imo

Here's the Laurel Mist version with additional detail.
In 2009 Fred Lewis offered to paint the roof white for forum members at a cost of a mere $50. This included a scrape & polish job the greenhouse chrome. It would be interesting to see how many of us took him up on that deal, as the Buick just cried out for a white roof.
