Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) I could NEVER understand why the '57 was so popular and this one as not. Beautiful. IMO, the best looking of all '58 cars. Ben Edited August 6, 2018 by Ben Bruce aka First Born (see edit history) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Mr. Brown, this forum reaches people all over the United States, Canada, and the civilized world. (And an occasional scammer from the uncivilized part of the world!) People will need to know where your nice '58 Chevrolet is located. Oslo? Ottawa? Orlando? Or---?

Beautiful. IMO, the best looking of all '58 cars. Ben I was a "young whipper snapper" back in fifty & eight. All of GM's 1958 offerings were not viewed kindly at the time. Why? They represented a very radical change from the 55 through 57 models. The earlier ones had straight, clean, crisp lines to them. The 1958 models appeared heavy, bulbous and curvy. Then there was the fact that in 1958 they went berserk with regard to chrome trim. Wherever it could be done chrome trim was installed. The level of public acceptance for 1958 designs is attested to by the fact the body styles were a 1 year only design. I have to admit that a mere 60 years later I do find the 1958 GM offerings to be more appealing than they were at the time.

The initial '59 bodies were to be continuations of the '58 shells. It was the 'mutiny' @ General Motors Styling that changed that, resulting in the all new '59s. Also, there was a mild recession in '58- the ONLY U.S. brand up in '58 was Rambler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
