Hey folks,

Its been a while. Im doing a frame off on my 59 LeSabre and could use some input. I am putting a TH400 switch pitch in my 59 and was told that a flight pitch shifter column from a 58 or 59 would work but I would be without 1st gear which nobody uses anyways. My question is. Are the ...

hey folks.

I have a connection to 3 limiteds. I am going to try and get one for a project. How much have you guys invested in restoring your Limited if you have done most of the work yourself?

i read a story about a guy way back who modifiend his Chevy Nova and put very tall gears in the transmission and very small gears in the rear end and went from Miami to Los Angeles at 80 miles a gallon! Now About our Buicks. Since I have the sycromesh shift trans and economy rear end gears, I ...

I know that is why I havent converted the B-59 over to Electronic Ignition. The issue is that with points its harder for it to fire right at higher RPM.

I think that having a discussion topic just for Limited series cars because of there uniqueness and one of a kind design. I think they do deserve a seperate topic.

Where is everybody? We could team up with our sister site Buick-59.com becuase alot of them love the 58's as well. That would help.... There is alot of traffic on that site. We need to get more people on this site! It is vital to the survival of our community! My 2 Cents.

Update,

I was messing with the idle on the B-59 and found out that just by idling it a little higher it stops knocking. So when I switched to synthetic I had to increase the idle just a hair or 2 and that stopped the knocking!

I couldnt agree more with that comment! My 59 Buick got more attention then any auto I ever had! Especially after I got the new dual Smithy glass paks put on the exhaust, also that very nice Naked Lady of Duchess on the hood I added for promotion reasons :twisted: Buicks were the cream of the crop ...

for cadillacs though have 1958 AIR BAGS! Check It out. May be able to help!

Actually there is a website called Wyomingclassiccars.com that has like 8 58 Buicks for sale. Alot have been sold but there is a NON Caballero wagon still for sale ( I remember someone wishing they could find one :idea: ) Also that guy who owns ALL of those I know. Frank Jones and he also has a 4 ...

I know where there is a complete 58 Roadmaster 4 door in rust free condition. rebuilt motor, interior good, chrome great, $2,800. I saw pictures of it and it is from a place in western nebraska called the sand hills where it dont rain very often! I do know a guy in Kansas City with a 58 Limited 4 ...

I would like your insight on what you think is worth more. a 1958 Buick Limited door riviera or a 1959 Buick Lesabre 2 door sedan. They are both in the same shape and condition they just vary in what needs done on them.

hmm. I should check them out. That is where I got a couple parts for my B-59. You know this website should team up with teh 59 buick website! I know the 'top dogs' on there and that would do both our years of cars good! its Buick-59.com. Talk to BHClark. I think that putting both Buick websites ...
