The good ol' days when you could order all kinds of speedster combos via the factory... Why not? After all, gasoline back then was cheaper than tap water!
Ours was black n white with a gold top. Came w factpry tricarb on the intercepter. NOTHING could catch er. Loved the sound of the pipes pullling trailer up snd down mountain roads!
I had the 58 interceptor 352 It was built before Dec1st 1957. It had solid lifter cam shaft and dual point ignition plus special headers. After Dec 1st they used hydralic lifters and single point ignition. It had a 57 stick shift transmission . I had to replace 2nd gear 3 times Top speed was 140 +
They bored out the block & out bigger heads & racing clam the motor!!! Put overdrive with lower rear end they can be hot vfc rod !!! Ford motor company market families back then !!! You do not see alot 58 ford 's !!!?? At car shows , see 57 , 59 !!! 58 retractable fewer of then , ford motor must not make many of them !!! See fewer convertible on the road too!! The t- bird the sport group people wanted
I love that car! I didn't know there ever was a 352 produced with a 4-barrel. I inherited a '62 Ford from my Dad that had a 352, 2-barrel, not much power. I would like to have had the 390.
Yup, Let alone one with a Aluminum Manifold high rise from the factory lol special high flow cast exhaust manifolds, special cast block, higher compression heads, in a way this was Fords first Hi Po package ever offered.
What a NICE, cool beautiful, lookn caRR!!! Those colors are amazing, certainly an attention getter, I'd say, my dad bought one of these ,but it was an automatic, 4 dr sedan, and it was a 2 tone color like all, it was black/yellow. Also dad's favorite car was the 58 EDSEL, in fact he bought 3 of them, he's passed on now, but I've gotem a 4 dr HARDTOP Citation, a 4 door Pacer sedan and a 59 Villager station wagon, 9 PASSANGER car. THANKS for sharing this with me. Take care of that GOURGOUS carr!!👌😉👍
My grandpa bought a brand new black 58 ford pickup from a ford dealer in Dinuba CA. They offered and put a 352 special interceptor in it from another vehicle there on the lot. That particular engine has factory machined combustion chambers in the heads and believe it or not that pickup beat a injected vette of the same year when they were both new cars. Also he had trouble getting the pickup from the dealer after the install cause they were showing the dam thing off.
This is an amazing Ford! The '58 (for some reason) doesn't get the same respect as the '57 in terms of looks. The front end was a big improvement over the '57's headlights. The sides were freshened, and the taillights were more in keeping with the '58 T-Bird's taillight housing. No, they weren't round that year, but neither were they in '60, and those don't get the same criticism!
I agree, thou it seems the 58's are getting much more respect now days, including the fact the 58's could get the Interceptor 352, was Ford first High Performance FE option ever, has a factory aluminum high rise manifold, factory Holley 4 barrel, special cast high flow exhaust manifold, 58's i think looked better from the front, they did use T birds front end look a bit too" which i love" big open low hanging grill, 57's are nice, but i would not give up this 58 for one :)
THES 1958 YEARS FOR CARS WAS THES BEST.FROM THE 58 COVETTE, 58 THUNDERBIRD, 58 CHEVROLET IMPALA,58 FORD FAIRLANE 500,ETC.ITS MY FAVORITE YEARS FOR CARS.
I have a 57 Del Rio 2dr wagon and a 58 Del Rio also, I like both....but the 57 is a cleaner sharper design, preferred by the hot rod crowd.....the 58 is a little " heavy handed".... but that said...all of GMs were overdone also......the vetted got crazy with slottedhood.....double headlights, chrome trunk strips.....however the overdone look of the 58 is definitely a late arrival to the party and certainly gaining in desirability because of so few remaining.
@@danobrien5154 The 58 GM's were actually ALL overdone with the chrome/stainless steel. Having said that, I think the Impala looked awesome, inside and out. The Pontiac just didn't have the looks of the Impala. The Olds admittedly overdone still looked better than the Buick. This is probably why Buick was the first GM division to get the '59s WEEKS before the other four--including Cadillac. Speaking of, it was fairly restrained in '58.
what a nice car I have a owner's manual for that car it's in pretty fair condition was printed in 1957 for the 1958. Don't know how I even got it. I would like to pass it on to someone. If you know anyone that wants it . It belongs in a glove box of a 1958 ford not on my shelf. let me know
I remember back in 66 my dad had one just like that it was turquoise and white I used to come home from school I'm studying it and push the buttons on the radio and shift the gears I wish we kept that one I still have a few parts left he scrapped it
I had one back in 1967 .Just before I went to Vietnam I put a built 406 four speed on it . It set years after I came home. Some years later my ex-wife took it from me and sold it for 200.00 dollars .
Learned to drive in a '64 Country Squire powered by a 352. That distinctive valve pop in the dual exhaust note is what inspired the Mustang GT sound. Best accentuated with a set of cheap glass packs to rattle windows in the neighborhood.
R u sure it's a 352? I had same model with a 361 Edsel motor. It was a hi-po option. I didn't know what I had, so I looked up engine numbers. Surprise! 361. Ford put them in PD cars, and could be ordered by anyone. Cool car by the way!
Prety sure, it is a H code in the door, which according to Ford means 352 Interceptor Special, which come with a Ford factory aluminum high rise and Holley Carb" still on the car" and high flow casted headers ' still on the car' numbers all pan out original matching, they all Ford FE Edsel designed blocks though.
@@bruceparker9353 No, the 361 was an FE. The MEL series included the Mercury 383, Edsel 410, plus the Lincoln 430 and 462. Notice how the center two spark plugs in the 361 angle toward each other, with the plug wires almost touching, like all the FEs. On the MEL they all sit in formation with no interference.
Yup and first year Ford ever offered a High-Performance factory engine option :) First time Ford ever put a factory high rise aluminum manifold too " which the car still has"
@@mytimetunnel not sure what fords mindset was but I’m thinking the 57 supercharged engine the Y block was a hi-po in their minds but the 352 and 332 and 390, 406, 427, 428 and probably a few others were contenders but that 352 is where it started and I wish I had one, I have heard of the 352 in 65’s not sure of 66, that is where the 390 took over, but, not introduced mind you but I guess base big block, 66 also is where the 428 came in, I’m sure I can google it. I like to spew facts without google though
Nice work. When new, these were notorious for being assembled without much quality control. Even much of the fitment was mostly someplace average. The 1957, 58, and ‘59 were strange design exercises. In 1960 the good design was back and competitive. Hot rodders mostly left the Fords alone although a few were nicely done.
@@RobertSmith-wv7ur And it came in 58 Fords. Was in squad cars, and could be ordered. I had a Fairlane 500 with 361. If u don't believe me, look it up.
MYS NEIGHBOR BOUGHT A 1958 FORD MOTOR VEHICLE FAIRLANE 500 BACKS IN 1972 FOR $50.00.WAS UGLY AND TOP SPEED WAS 30 MPH .HADS A 6 CYLINDER ENGINE. 3 SPEEDS IN THE COLUMN.WAS GREEN AND WHITE COLOR, BROKEN WINDOWS.AS A TEENAGE BOYS ITS WAS BEAUTIFUL AND PAIDS FORS.BITS WALKING THAN.
Cars and music have been joined together since the dawn of the auto :) In my Merry Oldsmobile, Rocket 88, Hot Rod Lincoln, Black SunShine, Highway to Hell , Jerry Was a Race Car Driver, and so on :) Music and cars go together great, i got plenty of footage on my page of it just running if you need just that :)
Always liked the looks of the 1958 Fords.
The good ol' days when you could order all kinds of speedster combos via the factory... Why not? After all, gasoline back then was cheaper than tap water!
1970-71 Detroit area 19.9 a gal. Fill up a Galaxie for $3 and change.
The cool thing about the 352 is you can bore it .050 over and swap in a 4.25 inch stroker crank and have 445 cubic inches and nobody is the wiser.....
I'd bet people would be surprised when you pull out to pass and fly by them.
Quite a powerful engine for 1958. Nicely styled. I think 1958 was the one year in which the tail lights were horizontal.
I always liked the ignition switch next to the headlights switch in old Fords. 😎
Absolutely beautiful. Wish I could drive it around the block once.
*GORGEOUS* automobile....and thanks for the ride! Cheers from Canada! : )
Thank you very much :)
You did your pappy proud. Nice FORD!
