    My sister had a black 1958 Belvedere years ago. I loved that car. It had the black and red interior, but someone had switched the bench seat for two, what we were told, Mustang bucket seats. They were blue vinyl. The back seat material had worn and so she had a Native American type blanket on the back seat custion I remember when she said she had to junk it because the rear end was going out. I was so young, I thought the trunk was going to fall off - as that's what is in the rear end of the car. She put it out in front of her house and within 2 hours she sold it. I miss that car.

    It's a good sign the car didn't repair itself. But if the radio plays 50's rock'n'roll for no apparent reason, you should consider moving to another continent, just to be sure. :D No, seriously, I really like this restoration and it warms my heart there are still Christine's roaming around, looking for prey.

      Most of these rusted worse than that, restorable ones are hard to find. Someone who works in west Texas oil fields said every time he goes out there he brings a car hauler trailer and almost always finds something like this that is pretty rust free but it does not rain much out there,
