In the town over from me here on the jersey Shore, Point Pleasant, about fifty years ago someone got the bright idea to use old cars like this as a kind of dune, a break against tidal surges and large waves. They were buried about half-way and then covered with sand. Everything was fine until the nor’easter in 1992 unearthed them and sent them smashing into homes on the beach.

My uncle owned a gold and white 58 Buick Special back in the day! Rear fins were big in the late 50’s auto models.
My dad had a red and white 57 Dodge Coronet with fins too.

Wouldn’t you really rather have a Buick?

A good project might be to restore industrial capacity to produce such a car!

The catastrophe I remember from my childhood. Beautiful old cars buried in a parking lot by a crazy "artist". Was even written up in Life magazine. Eventually rotted away and finally was turned back into a parking lot.

It’s too bad the article didn’t include pics of the time capsule Buick. Good tagline, by the way...words to live by.

We were a Buick family when I was growing up. Mid-50’s Roadmasters, Rivieras during the 60’s & 70’s. Somehow a ‘62 Le Sabre got in there - only kept it for a year or so.

Sweet rides and just beautifully crafted cars. Great dashbords during those years. Full of mirrors, lights and bells and whistles galore. Auto-dimmers for the headlights...etc.

1958 - The year of the chrome. I think Buick had more than all the others.
