What is worth more........ 58 Buick Limited or 59 LeSabre?

If it is 1958 Buick related and doesn't fall in the other categories or you can't figure out where to put it, put it here! All non-1958 Buick discussion should occur in The Lounge.

What is worth more........ 58 Buick Limited or 59 LeSabre?

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.

While the '59 Buicks are getting more popular, I think the Limited is more valuable. How many doors does the Limited have - didn't type it in your post? Hard tops are more valuable than sedans as a rule of thumb, and I believe the LeSabre was bottom of the line in 1959 so comparing it to a Limited - top of the line - is really no comparison, I'd go for the Limited. Even four door Limiteds are bringing good money - one just sold on ebay for $24,500. A few years ago one in top condition rarely broke $20,000. Keep in mind that you can easily exceed $20,000 restoring a Limited, unless you can do most of the work yourself. Parts are expensive, and if everything needs rechroming that is good for at least $10,000 depending on quality.
