    Done correctly, those 'pops' would disappear - real easy with white!
    I really like it - maybe if I win the LOTTO!

    That is an awesome wagon! I love it. I agree, the wheels would have to go and I would put on the original hubcaps. It appears to be loaded to the MAX! Power windows, padded dash and A/C are the first rarely seen options on these cars that jumped out at me.

    Still not sure if its a 2 or 3 seat model?

    Beautiful! I love the styling of the 58.

    Not sure how I feel about a modern engine in it, though.

    I like this one. I even like the choice of wheels. Large but not stupid big, and a nice clean design to them. Love the colours too. Very sharp car, and the work seems to have been done to a good standard, too.

    Wonder which trans is in there?
    700r4 would be nice.
    And that's a GM 10 bolt installed - much stronger than the original 'pumpkin' style!

    It's a 2 seat wagon. The middle seat would be a 70/30 split with the small portion folding forward for access to the rear seat. In '58 the 3rd row still faces forward.

    Does the car have a heater or wipers?
    Maybe I'm missing something.

    Why didn't the seller just call "Rick'" for the description of the car and put it in the listing?
    Weird.

    Yes, there is a lot to like about this one...minus the wheels. Myself, I think I'd worry about replacing the wheels second..... rite after I had a new headliner put in, just can't get into speakers blasting the top left of my head.
