1958 Buick Special

At $2388 ($19,585 in 2015 dollars), the Model 48 Special 2 door post coupe was the least expensive Buick offered in 1958. It was equipped with a three speed manual transmission and a 2 barrel carburetor. The hardtop Special Riviera coupe sold three times as well. The four door post sedan sold four times better.

Broderick Crawford drove a Model 48 in the 1950s TV show Highway Patrol.
