[Closed] PICs: Which '58? Buick or Cadillac

And you Christopher also prove MY point. You insist that people bought cars to be noticed and for people to know they arrived.

And all I'm contending is that if that is the reason people buy (or bought) a car, then they have some serious self-image issues going on in their life. In many instances they are insecure within themselves and have to let people think they are somebody because they have a new or fancy car.

I don't need to be around people like that. When I've bought cars, I've done so because I like them, but NEVER to try impress others or show that I'm better than they are.

Sadly, I've known many folks who have to try and impress others with what they have or own, rather than just being themselves and not a guy who says, "Here I am, look at the fancy, prettier, and bigger car I have than you".

I fully realize the '59 Cadillac was a popular car. I'm only saying that if it is bought to "show off" that one is better or more successful than someone else, it's the WRONG reason.

This is the point that you fail to see in our discussion. Nothing wrong with that though, we both are entitled to our respective perspectives.

One final thing Christopher, I'm certainly entitled to like or hate the styling of any car and I have the right to express it. Same as you and everyone else does.

George, I 100% agree with everything you just noted. My only point(s) to all of this....

is that:

1) Those people you describe do indeed exist; they are, in fact, everywhere around the world.

2) But to call them "sorry souls" is, IMO, a bit harsh. Perhaps millions agree with you, however, most everyone has tried to "show off" at least once. I won't debate whether it's right or wrong but rather "it happens."

If you have never been guilty of this George then give yourself a star or get an extra scope of ice cream!

Cadillac, but give me the Series 62 rear end.

Agreed. 1955 and 1956 were the high points of the decade IMO.

Buick.

Caddy because I had a 58 Buick

I was born in ' 56 ... I love the '55 & '56 Bowtie Offerings

Buick.

Sounds like there's a story there somewhere!

I am not a fan of either one. I think that Buick took a giant step backwards from the beautiful 57. Never been a Cadillac guy.

Red 1958 Buick Limited Convertible

Two and a half tons of Buick style! So sad we'll never see her like again.

Thanks Christopher, I think we'er good. I would love to sit and chat cars with you sometime and have that extra scoop of ice-cream together or better yet a beer. God's blessings to you friend.

.... yeah, one or the other but not both at the same time. LoL

Pass on both.

For me it's a tie. I luv them both.
