Buick · 1936–1958
Buick Limited
The Buick Limited was Buick's flagship model line between 1936 and 1942, and, in celebration of General Motors' 50th anniversary, a single-year halo car for the division in the 1958 model year. Since the 1960s, Buick has intermittently used the term "Limited" as a designation denoting its highest level of trim and standard features in its various model ranges. The original line given the Limited nameplate, topped by an extended-wheelbase limousine, was in direct competition with Cadillac senior sedans for clientele, which wanted a GM luxury car but regarded Cadillac as "ostentatious" or "flamboyant" in contrast to Buick's reputation for durable, reliable, and staid premium vehicles.
