My mother had a 1960 Buick LeSabre - very similar to the 1959 in the link you posted - but in white. I remember riding in the back seat (I was 10) on the way to Toronto to visit my aunt and uncle. It rode like a ship on the ocean.

No seatbelts, of course.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

Oh, and the Corvair was ugly as hell. No style. Almost as bad as the Chrysler Valiant.

Hmmm. Some of those cars I remember from first hand experience! I saw that 1960 Comet. I remember our 1961 version. That 57 Chevy is a thing of beauty, as was the 53 Studebaker. And of course the 64 Mustang still turns heads. Many of the others, I could leave. Exaggerated features (like gigantic tail fins) don't turn me on. There certainly was a big design shift between 1950 and 1955.
