Thanks for posting, Pastor John! This isn't mine, but isn't it gorgeous?
Yup, it's positively gorgeous and yes, there are 160 dynastars in the grille.
Count the right side and multiply x 2. John, Kuvakas, yours will have one extra dynastar on the left side.
John Roberts' attention to detail is truly incredible. I can visualize mine in Mariner Blue Poly.

Thanks, for the the photos, John and Rick. A marvellous work.
Can we add white under the belt also?
It's magnificent! Congratulations to JR and the lucky owner, and thanks to John for the posting.
You can but according to Buick experts it wouldn't be correct.
I've seen them with white below, echoing earlier Buicks and they look nice...but they aren't correct. Brian Laurence and David Knight have both helped me here and I'm sure Richard Dube would concur.
Many thanks for all your kind comments. I'm sure the standard BRK will be a success.
The Laurel Mist suggestion came from this Forum.
That, I believe is correct, John. '57's yes, but not '58's

Thanks David(H),I`ll convey your comments to the lucky owner!
Laurel Mist
For those of us that are color ignorant is laurel mist a first cousin of purple?
I saw both manner on the 58 Buick Limited this summer in an exposure. I will go with the Buick experts.
Thank you, John and David.

(Pic) 1958 Buick Limited Colonial Blue
I took the photograph in Quebec. I think this is Colonial Blue. I always like the design of this car.

Bob,better pictures of a Buick Limited in Laurel Mist are shown on the website referred to below:
John is correct. The only two-toning offered by Buick on the 1958 models was a solid body color with a contrasting color roof.
