I'm not quite sure exactly which model this is, but the 1958 Buick supposedly has the distinction of being the car with the most chrome ever on a stock vehicle. It's not just on there, it's in all sorts of different shapes, from the squares on the grille to the targets on the fenders and the trim sweeping down the side of the car to the big chrome side panels.
I really do like the grille, but otherwise there's just waaaaay too much going on with this car. It looks like a little kid's model car where he just glues every chrome piece he can find haphazardly to one car. None of it matches, there's far too much of it, and it makes this vehicle far more ugly than the Edsel Pacer, supposedly the Gold Standard of Ugliness of 1950's cars.
