Shipping weight, according to the Standard Catalog of American Cars, was 4500 lbs. Adding options like a/c and such I am sure added weight to that, but at least this is in the ballpark.

Have fun with your 58,

Bob,

I haven't put any stickers on my car windows, but if I did, it would be on the driver's side near the rear of the car - that way, it doesn't impede with vision while driving like other locations would.

I once designed and built a trailer mounted power unit with a big detroit diesel engine mounted on it. The trailer itself was the fuel tank, so when it came time for inspection, it had to be under the maximum weight limit set by the state. It weighed in about 50# under the limit with allowance for the fuel in the trailer. I just didn't tell the inspector that the engine didn'nt have any coolant in it.

Don't forget to add gasoline and oil at aprox 6 lbs per gallon plus coolant at about 8 lbs per gallon.
