I couldn't help but show this to my Grandmother. Her very first car was a 58 blue and white biscayne, 3 on the column and everything else that this car is. Her face lit up, it took her back to happier, more simpler times for a few minutes. Thank you, Kyle!!!
Tyler Person this comment deserves a thumbs up!
That's so cool Tyler, this made my evening! Thank you!!
Saabkyle04 do a 1969 or 1970 charger next
Tyler Person much better than a Kia Stinger, am I right!!

YES MORE OLD CARS
Nauticat If he does any AMC cars that would be the best

The 50's were a time when drivers didn't have any distractions and drove friendly, and those big back seats is where all the magic happened; yeah baby!
With bench seats, the good times can happen up front or in the back.
Kids and pets in cars are distracting.
none of your business what?
Exactly, back when people actually cared about others and not judging about how they look
@@lucasaldrich5949 Sounds like they were great times. People were more together, even if they were more divided, and way more respectful. I often say that I was born in the wrong time period, ya know, the way young people act today which is all slutty and disrespectful.
I’m glad there are still some UA-camrs that make videos on old cars. ✌️
Same
GAWD I missed so much your vintage cars reviews!!!
My grandmother had a 1958 Biscayne, the same color as this. Her car had an automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. I loved it; those fins in the back were awesome. She drove it until 1968, and she bought a 1968 Biscayne, which she drove for 18 years until her death. This car has always been my favorite.
Old cars are like time machines to people like me. I can remember things by the cars people were driving. Thanks for the trip.
I love the vent windows I wish they still did them today 🙂
I drive a 05 Nissan Sentra, and i just wish i had a sunroof.
Real steel, real pride, REAL AMERICA
I'm not American, but I love those cars. I have to buy myself a big old Cadillac one day.
Buy one and you won't regret it! I have one and it is a dream to drive :) Really puts a smile on my face when I take it down the road.
Fat Max Murica!
Back when everything wasn't made out of plastic.
That car is in perfect condition! That car is so cool, it looks like a fun car to own!
did he buy this
Car Nation I know right
Only skin-deep in perfect condition. Did you not see all that rust when he showed pics of underneath the car?
Rust (not only underneath), oil and smoke from underneath the engine. Looks like engine compartment was painted but not very good.
Is it ok for the distributer to turn around with high rpm?
ChinnuWoW It’s an old car. Of course there’s going to be rust underneath it.
The '58 Chevy is my favorite. Ignore the username.

It's always good to see a vintage review for a change!
Gorgeous car and color scheme. I love that she's original and not grossly restored. Thank you Kyle for finding this lovely Straight-6 classic.
kyle I have been subbed to your channel for 5 years, these retro cars are the best you have ever done keep it up man loving it
I love these older car reviews. Please do more of them.
Awesome video Kyle! I’m so jealous, I’d love to own a beauty like that! I hope you do lots more videos with it in the future!
Thanks a lot Matt! If you have any ideas, let me know!
Let me have your channels.
If I'm think about buying a vintage 1950's or 1960's car it has to be an American car. No German, no Italian, no Japanese autos can replace these good & old colored USA "jewels".
PS: It NEEDS to be a V8.
PS II: Nice vid, Saabkyle04!
Most of those Cuban cars have had their engines swapped out, most commonly with either JDM engines or even boat engines.
Bel Air ?
"Best of all no air conditioning." I agree
The vent system and the front wing windows made air conditioning virtually unnecessary!
@@martinfranke846 until you're driving at slow speeds in the city on a hot summer day. I agree they're almost as good at highway speeds though.
I just bought a 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis. It only has 42,000 mile's I bought it for $1500 and I just watched your review on it they are great car's.
Jacob Moon dude, what a steal.
Green Hawk Drive I know
I love these good ole cars! This was back when they were actually very simple!
My maternal Grandmother had a 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne or Delray. I liked it very much myself.👌
Love your videos on classics, Kyle, I wish you’d do more! Awesome video by the way👍🏻
I'm getting some "How it's made" vibes from how he's narrating the video. It's awesome.
Awesome! Most of this video, I just spoke from the heart so to speak, didn't have to write much of a script :)
Patrick Hayes very relaxing tone
Saabkyle04 hi
Great video!
Brought back lots of memories.... we had that car without the rear wheel skirts and with the overdrive... what a car that was!
Many trips taken with 6 kids in there! Soooo much room !!
Scary to think that there’s no seat belts...
Sounds better than the new Raptor, I can tell you that much.
NoNegotiations agreed
I read that the 2019s will have a 7.0 v8
I love these cars!! I want to have one of these 50s landyachts (although I won't say no to a 90s Towncar!)!! Even by watching Kyle, I imagine that it's very comfortable!!
P.S.: Hey, the Blue Flame Six, the original engine of the Corvette!!
My 58 4 door Biscayne had a blue flame 6 paired with a two speed powerglide transmission. I would have preferred the stick, but bought it in the early 80's, so I took what was available. A wonderful car. Wish I had kept it!
Hey Kyle saw this Chevrolet Biscayne at your families Car Connections Inc in Reidsville 2 weeks ago and was going to ask you to do a review over it. But you have done a review before I have asked. Thanks! What a true american classic. Have a good day.
Very glad you made this review Kyle. It is quite interesting to see the loose steering requiring so much correction for a very small change of direction. The squeaking clutch reminded me my 1976 Nova... That engine bay is so bare-bones. Wow. But what a beautiful car.
Sounds good for a vintage 6. Sounds a lot better that todays 6s.
Definitely, I've got a Dodge Nitro with a 3.7L V6 in it. Very reliable but it's such a gas hog. Even removing some of the weight which was about 90 pounds from it, it still didn't change much. But yes I definitely agree on that, had no fuel injection, valve timing, etc. Just a very basic engine.
@@lucasaldrich5949 I forgot about the Nitro, cool SUVs. The R/T was especially cool. But the 3.7 is nice too. Enjoy your Nitro.
I like the way you handle the shift lever wile driving this car. Most people I have seen on YOU-Tube don't seem to know how to hold and shift it. Good job Kyle.
Saabkyle04 my dad's first car was a 1965 Chevy Biscayne
Thank you very much Kyle! That's what I wanted to see on your channel for a long time!
Engine sounds very smooth and quite sporty when it's pulling.
I really like these older car reviews. Keep it up!
DVEGA 2000 agreed
THIS IS THE KYLE I FELL IN LOVE WITH. Classic American cars
My ðad had a brand new one when I was born. I remember it well. I love this car.
I learned how to drive in a 1959 El Camino with a 283 & a 2 Speed Powerglide. I loved that thing. It was my Grandpa's.
Please do more videos like this! I loved it
Back when cars were more than an appliance, back when each make and model had its own style and soul, back when cars looked like airplanes with wheels instead of eggs with wheels. If they made modern cars look like this, then maybe I could stomach buying one. Thanks for the great video Kyle, as always!
Have to say: My favorite review of yours in a long while. You and classics just go together.
MrCarGuy20 I agree
Thank you!
*The Declasse Tornado is so slow*
Lol
Bob McCoy gta fan 😉
Bob McCoy lol
Mine turbocharged is pretty quick
Tornado had a v8 tho.
Damn this looks beautiful! Props to whoever has owned it for keeping it in such good shape.
Not only is it from the late 50's, it's even white and turqoise. Ah, so lovely!
Such a classy, good-looking car
Amazing...I think I saw 4 wires, other than the spark plug wires, under the hood....LOL The days when you could start the car by running a single wire to the coil and short the starter relay to crank the engine and on your on your way....LOL Nice!! I remember inline sixes very well (from the 70's-80's)
Should do more of these classics Kyle. Been ages since you done one. Love it. Good work Mate
I love the cars of the 50s and 60s, speed wasn’t something to worry about, driving in style and comfort were the main points and it’s fantastic
Exactly!
Does anyone else automatically thumb up this guys video's before they even watch them? You know it's going to be good, and this dude seems so damn nice, it's almost a sin not to click like.
I agree with this review 100%!I had a '59 Fairlane 500 a few years back. It ran and drove, for $1500. It was a pretty cool feeling to be behind the wheel! The doors had to weigh 100lbs each! It needed a complete resto, but everything felt so solid (except the steering and brakes, but those are minor issues).
Keep up the great content!
Thanks so much!!
GORGEOUS 58 BISCAYNE
I have 62 years old and this is the first car of my father who buyed it used in 1963.
I'd love to see more cars like this on your channel
I love how the entire distributor twists for vacuum advance. These cars had so much character- driving "three on the tree" with manual steering and manual brakes is like a workout out the gym. I know, I had one. The acceleration was pitiful and the brakes sucked, yet I loved those old cars!
As Dinah Shore said on The Dinah Shore Chevy Show - DON'T BE LATE FOR '58!
More classics please!
#AJ 15 yup yup
This is awesome, I can’t wait to get my 58 back
Wow this car has so much character. I love it!
This car may lack on power but it compensates with a lot of personality and character
Such a beautiful vehicle wish they styled vehicles today as they did in the mid to late 50s
Wow! Nice car! I was riding in one with my dad when we wrecked in 1969 (I was 7). No seat belts of course, so I ate the dashboard. Spent a couple weeks in the hospital after that.
Best review yet, what a blast from the past....love it!! :)
Beautiful 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne I always wanted to drive a 1957 Chevy bel air coupe in red but where I live I don't see anyone driving one.
Great video as always! Love this car. During this era US car makers created brands exclusively for my (Canadian) market. On top of their American brands we had Beaumont, Envoy, and Acadian from GM, Meteor and Monarch from Ford, and Valiant and Fargo from Chrysler.
Wow, I never knew that! Thanks for sharing!
for your? for OUR canadian market. Blyat
I have a ‘58 Delray with the 235 and the Borg Warner overdrive. It’s my daily driver. My top priority was to install front disc brakes
ol' car reviews is always awesome! keep it up, daddy-o!
I love how old cars rock side to side when your rev the engine, its like you can see the torque, probably bad shocks though.
Very beautiful car there is nothing like this older GM cars they are built to last strong body metal i wish newer cars are built like this with out plastic everywhere good luck kyle on this amazing car
Ah going back to the 1950s I wish I was around there id love to own that ride
yes! the 50s, the aftermath of the great depression and the start of the fuel crisis!
Mazder_ Segregation too
cool car! i prefer the 59 myself and would have a different color scheme and a v8 maybe. great to see this one so well cared for.
I hope you'll do more of these classic car reviews!
Saabkyle04...really enjoy your classic car vids...please do more
SaabKyle04 that is so weird to see a young person driving "three on the tree" or "column shift" as the old timers called it. Those Chevy sixes were not powerful but they were EXTREMELY reliable and durable. My friend in high school had one and we used to take it to upper NY state hunting where it would be -20 overnight and that car started immediately no matter what (had good heat too-lol). Love your video!
What a cool car. Makes a nice change to see and 6 cylinder and manual too. Great video
These videos are super fun! Thanks for sharing! Love the content!
With inflation its $19,084-$20,458
Esteban Almeida still pretty cheap for a mid range car
This actually seems like the base model after hearing Kyle talk about the features. Between the straight 6 and no AC it sounds and is priced like a base model.
It seems about equal to what a car would cost today, despite the huge difference in complexity. I find that incredibly fascinating.
That's a lot of car for that amount of money. Back in the early 2000s, one could still get an Impala for about 20 grand. Today full-size cars cost at least 30 grand or more.
For a 2 door yeah. This a is a plain Jane 4 door sedan with a slant 6, $11000 is about the most it’s worth.
Kyle, I truly think you need to have some sort of on-going series where you review older cars. It doesn't have to be as frequent as the new cars, but frequent enough. Please?
I'd like that very much Jacob! Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunities where I live now that I did back when I was in school. I'll work hard going forward to try and do as much as I can!
Saabkyle04 , your doing a terrific job right now, and I didn't want to sound rude, but I loved the video so much! I really enjoy the old cars and all the little things they have. And the engine in this is the same model I have in my 49 truck.
I knew exactly where you were coming from :) Classic reviews are soooo much fun to film!
Saabkyle04 , yea, I'll have to rebuild my trucks engine, and then you'll have to come up to NY to film it. It's a 2 ton stake bed truck, with 19,000 miles
Now you have compare this to the 1958 Chevrolet Impala with the 348 Tripower! Any other older car reviews in the work Kyle? Keep up the great work!
I would love that opportunity!! None right now, but hopefully more as we go into 2018! Thanks bud!
That is a great car I love the green interior and I love how their is no features. Cars were really nice back in the 50s!
Very nice car!
glad to see you rocking the 235 6cyl / 3 speed manual!
So simple and perfect
Now, in the '60s, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.
I would absolutely love to own this car. The way it is. Well, maybe put a bigger carb and better exhaust on it. Looks like a fun car.
Such a nice Biscayne example!
Finally back to a classic!!
hey kyle, random question but is it worth detailing and w axing a "brand new car"?
This is so cool. would love to drive one every day.
based_will it would fall apart lol, but yea
@@GreenHawkDrive not if you know how to take care of one lol
Mine had a 283 v8. Owned between 1965 to 1972 when the carb caught fire.
Can't help hitting like button....Those old car reviews are soon great.
Excellent video and most interesting thank you Kyle .
That car is gorgeous I love 50s cars great video I would love a 1957 Plymouth fury great channel Kyle 🙂
I like your fender skirts. Always wanted them, but dad said they are a pain when changing a rear flat along the road.
I remember riding in my Uncles Blue and White 1958 Chevy
Is it bigger or smaller than the Bel Air? and How warm, on average, it in your home town/state in November? It looks like summer there.
finally something interesting on the channel
I like fender skirts it is the only option on this 1958 Chevrolet Biscayne, 4 door sedan. Wish that they have fender skirts for cars of the future for the rear wheels.
Cool I love old car reviews
Jason Hoffer AMC?
Nice! Looks like the distributor is a little loose? Thanks for the videos, cheers!
Chevrolet Impala 1958 most beautiful
Does it have active lane keep assist or moving object detection warning?
Unfortunately not, that came with the redesign in 1959.
I wonder what kind of features today could have been implemented in the 1950s. Heated seats? They seem pretty cheap and easy.
Brian Lawrance oh Brian, you can't be that stupid. Those options didn't even exist till the 2000s I know you hate Hyundai, but you really can't be this dumb. How old are you!! Please tell me you were making a joke. If you were serious, then you really are out there....
Saabkyle04 you are of course joking...right?
Love the blue flame
