Spotted a Buick on a trailer in rush hour traffic

So, on my way home from work, a few car lengths ahead of me-- I spot something! Made me think of Greg. Bouncing around on a trailer was the telltale shape of a 1950s automobile. Either blue or turquoise with a white top. I squinted (still had to pay attention to the bumper to bumper traffic) and I spied "S P E C I A L" on the deck lid.
By golly! A Buick Special. Did a google search. My assumption was correct--1958.
It was too far ahead of me to tell if it was "restorable" or what. Did not appear to be "just restored". Someone may have scored with a barn find. I'll probably never know.
Just wanted to share. Ironically, Blue Moon by the Marcels was playing on the radio.
