    Just purchased a 1958 Buick caballero wagon. Thought I might be able to pick some ideas for parts restos etc.

    :Welcome:flyfisherak have fun here in the forum. Since you asked for ideas why don't you just sign my name on the title and ship that beat up ole Buick to Florida!
    Till then, get some pictures and information on the forum. A few of us love those Buick wagons. (y)

    Yea, just way too much chrome and stainless. I don't think he'll like it. Sure wish he'd just ship it down here and let me hide it in the boonies. Silverfox can come down and help me polish all that useless trim. :dance:

    Get to know your local rechromer real well............
    In fact, you just might want to invest in his business!

    Congratulations:)

    I have owned two '57s and I know you will enjoy the restoration of yours. I have some '58 parts and there are some parts that are interchangable with the '57s. Somewhere in my archives is a photo of a '58 - bare on the assembly line. I will post it here when I find it.

    To my knowledge, there are three other '58s under restoration; one in Australia, one in the USA, and one in Canada. - Dan

    P.S. Ok here it is.
