I think the '60 Buick is the most beautiful car ever made! But the '59 is #2 for me, with the '59 Chevy not close behind. Actually I really like all the 59/60 GM cars.

'53 was the first year for the V8 in Buicks, with the 322 nailhead replacing the 320ci ohv straight 8, in the Roadmaster. But the Special kept the 263 straight 8 for one more year, being replaced in '54 with the 264 ci nailhead V8.

Buick was actually the first to offer a 4 barrel carburetor, in '52, not on a V8, but in Roadmasters equipped with the 320 I8. And was also one of the earliest cars to be equipped with multiple carburetors, with two 2-barrel carbs appearing on '41-42 Buicks (on both the 320 and the smaller 248 straight 8 engines)
