How did that Olds sneak into that herd of Buicks, Brian?!

This was the driving tour portion of our 1959 General Motors Western National Meet, 2015. (PICS)

For the driving tour, we had one 1959 Cadillac, two 1959 Oldsmobiles, and five 1959 Buicks.

And have also toured extensively with this friend and his all-original '59 Olds Super 88 Fiesta wagon:

That Buick coupe reminds me of the '59 my brother had way back then, and it was a convert LeSabre in that same color. They called it Tawney Rose. (Also probably a good name for a stripper.)

GM came roaring back for '59 after Chrysler lapped them in '57!

Surprised! Figured a closely divided outcome. Love both...for me it's a tie.
