    What a great junkyard. Looks like roof you wanted was mostly off the car already.
     
  7. the wagon is bad ass, years ago my friend and looked at one that didn't have the engine. and missing some trim pieces . $500 was way to much to us then ( err no rust and sitting in a dry a garage for 15 years.

    That's a '58, I know where a couple of those are sitting. Those tail lights are cool but they're kind of a bastard to get off, they're HUGE.

    58 olds the king of chrome....
     
  25. A '58 Olds has more chrome reflecting back at you than one of Elvis' jumpsuits. Just dechroming one would take like 1000 lbs off it. Or about 3, 3 1/2 70s era Elvi.... (more than one Elvis is an Elvi, right?)

    58 Olds and Buick share body shells. The taillights are a bitch to pull because at least on the Buicks, but I'm sure the Olds too, there are two layers of metal in the quarters - the outside body metal and an inner liner. Between that and the ladder frame with a big center X brace, they must have been pretty tough in a demo derby. When I pulled '58 Buick taillight housings, I ended up first cutting the outer quarter off, to save the trim on that, then I could unbolt the rest.

    So, the 58 impala and bonneville were, sort of like, the "B" bodies (or "predecessors to the "B" and maybe the oldmoboggie/buick were the "C" bodies (or predecessor to the "c")?

    Did cadillac also share/have this body?

    i still think it would have made more sense for c,p,o and b to share the same body.


    NOTE: B body = impala/caprice, catalina/bonneville, 88, and lesabre

    C body= 98, electra, deville etc.

    1957 Fiesta wagon, my father bought one new in 57, it was gray and white with a red interior and a red stripe between the chrome. Beautiful car, even with four doors it out classed the 57 Nomad. First car I ever went over 100 mph in.
