Ford 1958 - The Most popular American cars of the 1950s
The line was freshened with a simulated hood scoop and dual-headlight front clip for 1958.[9] The rectangular grille openings gave way to circles and grille was set in the bumper.[9] A new 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic was optional along with the 2-speed Ford-O-Matic and manual transmission. Engines were also updated, with the 272 CID dropped, the 292 CID making 205 hp (153 kW), and a new-generation 332 CID (5.4 L) FE V8 rated at 240 HP in 2 barrel form and 265 HP in 4 barrel "Interceptor" form. The new 352 cubic inch V8, also dubbed "Interceptor" and rated at 300 hp (224 kW) made its debut. A full-flow oil filter became standard across the range. Galaxie production was started in Lorain, Ohio at Ford's Lorain Assembly plant for 1958 and continued through 1959 with 102,869 Galaxies produced there. Air suspension, called "Ford-Aire" became optional on all vehicles except the entry-level Custom 300 for $156 ($1,465 in 2021 dollars [10]) but was canceled in 1959. Vehicles equipped with the feature had a badge attached to the rear of the vehicle.[11]
The convertible version of Ford Fairlane 500, Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner (also called Skyliner Retractable Convertible), had been sold for three years - 1957, 1958, and 1959. It was the most expensive vehicle offered by Ford. The 1958 Skyliner sold for $3,163 ($29,707 in 2021 dollars [10]) while the standard convertible sold for $2,650 ($24,889 in 2021 dollars [10]) and the sedan went for $2,055 ($19,301 in 2021 dollars [10]). A total of 14,713 units were produced in 1958. Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner weighed 4,609-pounds.[12] TAKEN FROM WIKI

Beautiful cars. I love stationwagons. My daughter just bought a 58 Thunderbird in red with white top, red & white interior, and a rare factory sunroom. It is a stunning automobile.

Seat bolted to the frame? How would that allow bolting the floor and frame together without leaving movement between the two??

[@terrypresnell2563]

No the 55 chevy and 57 chevy bel aires were the most beautiful and iconic cars of the 1950s

[@AtlantaGymFan]
