    Did Pontiac make a 389 in ‘58?
    And maybe from a B body car?

    My kid sent me a video of an AD Chevy PU and the info on the plates led me to ask the Pontiac folk here:)

    I thought that was a 1959 thing, the 370 was still around in 58.

    pics of the plate in question would help solve the mystery

    So was there a B body in ‘58 or ‘59? My mind is working;)

    Only full size cars in 58/59. I assume they were "b" bodies. There was nothing else. 370 in 58, then 389 starting 59.
