別克Limited

????說起別克Limited的缺點(diǎn)，有一位批評人士總結(jié)道：“造型雷人，油耗高，體積龐大，開起來感覺像開船。它是50年代末最好也是最差的美國車，再也沒有哪款車型比它更大、更炫了?！?/p>

????別克匆匆將這款轎車推向市場，試圖扭轉(zhuǎn)銷售頹勢。與其說這款車型是設(shè)計(jì)的產(chǎn)物，不如說它是裝飾的產(chǎn)物。它的散熱格柵由160塊正方形電鍍件組成。其中每塊電鍍件又有四個(gè)三角形凹面，用來反射光線。與車體同色的側(cè)面嵌板上鑲嵌了好幾道傾斜的斑馬紋，不知用意何在。尾燈被厚重的電鍍層包裹著，前保險(xiǎn)杠上還有兩個(gè)炮彈形的突出物，人們稱這種保險(xiǎn)杠為“達(dá)格瑪”（Dagmar）保險(xiǎn)杠，以此向一位名叫達(dá)格瑪、胸部偉岸的電視女星致敬。

????然而，Limited這款轎車并未阻止別克的銷量下滑，這款車型第二年就停產(chǎn)了。

Buick Limited

????When asked to describe the minuses of the Buick Limited, one critic summarized it thusly: "Dreadful styling, high thirst, gargantuan size, and barge-like handling: There's no bigger or flashier example of the best and worst in late-50s American cars."

????Rushed to market to halt slumping Buick sales, the Limited was decorated rather than designed. Its grille was composed of 160 chrome squares, each styled with four triangular concave surfaces to reflect the light. The body-colored side insert panels featured slanted hash marks for no apparent reason. Heavy chrome surrounded the taillights, and the bumpers featured a pair of "Dagmars," so-named in honor of a busty female TV personality.

????The Limited failed to arrest Buick's sales slide, and the model was gone the following year.
