A nice car and, as stated, it has not been made into a Christine. Man I hate those cars almost as I hate all the ’69 Chargers that have made General Lee clones. What is wrong with people? To me that kind of crap lowers the value by at least 50%.
Actually, I like the 57 taillights better but other than that I prefer the changes made for 58. I do have a hard time believing it went for that kind of money. Well, 77 maybe but I would not pay 99 for a 318. I like the early 318’s a lot, especially the single and dual four barrel motors. But for 99 I want the Golden Commando. My brother owned one he got in 58 as a demo with a couple of thousand miles on it. It had the Golden Commando and it would just fly.
I once ran across a 58 w/the GC and a 3 three speed. Factory 3 speed as, although it had been converted to a floor shift, it still had the 3 speed column with just the shift lever removed. It was in for some mechanical work at Edwards Motor Company in Milwaukee when I spied it about 1962 or 1963.

Mel has or had a '57 just as nice for about half the 99 BIN.
I like the air cleaners on the 57's better and the tail lights too...
But do like this 58 even with some non correct flaws as I buy my cars to drive anyway....
Ever as this would be sacrilege to some I would add ac to this car if it were mine......
Did it on my 57 Belvedere makes it much nicer to drive in our hot and humid summers.....

They sure have come a long ways since I paid $290.00 for mine in 1963. O. K. this one is in a lot better shape. I remember the painted wheel cover centers from Carlisle but can't remember whose car it was. Dick
