The Standard Catalog of American Cars, 1946-1975, edited by John Gunnell states "A Styletone trim option duplicated this side trim, except the lower horizontal strip was a double strip with a gold anodized insert."

Slowpoke drivetrain and all, I rather like this Ford!🙂 Appears to be an honest car, not as flashy as a Fairlane, but with good style. 

 

On this phone, I couldn't see the paint defects in areas seller mentioned. Hopefully that bungee cord on the battery is easily corrected.

I like it - and I don't like '58 Fords.  Price might be a little high, but one can always try to negotiate.

The battery box on these is made for a 29NF battery. (Long & thin). Modern typical batteries don’t fit well and any original hold down isn’t going to work.  So, either expensive correct battery or jury rigged.

One could always use a black bungee and avoid all the critics and purists.😁
