Hi all. Just got a nice 58 Super 88. I cant wait to get it on the road. Runs and drives but no back brakes. I will be working on that tomorrow. Car is in great shape.

Welcome aboard, they didn't call them the king of chrome for nothing.

Should you need help on anything drop on down to the Vintage Forum where the 50's guys hang lots of good experienced help there... Lost in the fifties... Tedd

Welcome and thanks for the pic. You don't see many 58's around.

Welcome to the site
It's true,
You don't see many 58's any more, let alone as complete and straight as yours.

It’s amazing. Not one piece of chrome, letter, or badge is missing.

That is the exact car my family had in the early 1960's.

Colors were exact....nice car, and lots of chrome!
