    Nice looking car. Stock or have you changed things some? 6cyl? 348? or what? Always liked the 58s

    Originally a 6 but I found a 1958 283 2 barrel after I painted it. Still has the 6 cylinder emblems. A powerglide pushes it along nicely. Apart from the tranny and an am radio its bare bones option-wise.

    Looks good, but does it suffer from the occasional nosebleed? I dig '58's

    My current project is a 58 Impala hard top, full roller 348 tri-power going with a tremec or richmond 5 or 6 speed. Gonna drop the front 2" and flame her '50's style. No power nuthin. No air. No billet. Should look sweet beside the Belair. Does this make EVERYONE happy or what?!

    Back in the day, dad ordered a '58 BelAir on our return from Wiesbaden, Germany. Four door. Anniversary Gold and Something beige. Oh, the memories!. My first ever body work was painting the driver's door window garnish.

    I may have to own another one before I die....

    Cheers -- Gary
