    1958 Buick Special

    This is only related to Falcons in that I was driving my Falcon home from work when I took the pictures, and that this was the type of car that convinced America that they needed something smaller. I have been passing this car ever day on my way home and wondering what it was. I finally stopped yesterday and took these pictures.

    It is a 1958 Buick Special. Look at how they folded the front end of the hood 90-degrees to make a flat surface, aerodynamics be darned. They wanted the front end to look BIG. Look at the V emblem in a circle on the hood and in the fender ornaments. They wanted to let you know that this car has a V-8.

    Look at the front turn indicators. They are shaped like torpedoes.

    Look at the gigantic chrome tail fin caps and the HUGE rear bumper. God bless America! Take that, Toyota! Whoever bought this in 1958 was probably really proud of their new car.
