    This is the most badass video I have ever seen. Had I been considering purchasing a car in 1958, I would have bought a chevy just because of this ad. I'm a sucker for good advertising!

    But I thought 58 Chevy's were all white with red pinstriping, a mean rake and a toad behind the wheel with a bitchin babe?

    I have a 58 chevy compilation tape with that footage and more, like some woman that crosses South America, including the Andes mountains, in a stock 58 Wagon, never breaking down.

    As Napolean Dynamite said: "Ya ever take it off some sweet jumps?"

    Yeah! Go to your hometown Chevrolet dealer and ask them to "demonstrate"! haha...thats the best..."Uh, hey...where are your ramps at, guy? I wanna test drive...."
    That was cool...looks like the landing ramp didn't quite enjoy 2 tons of Chevy trouncing upon it...:D
