Vehicle Description
Under 1,000 miles since body off restoration. This is the ultimate
go to dinner car. Whether you are Elvis or Sinatra, you will love
to be seen around town or on the highway. Ice cold air conditioning
is a great retreat from the mid-day summer sun. Financing available
- just give us a call, anytime. We would be happy to talk to you
about this beautiful car.
1958 saw extensive design changes, even though the cars were
entirely revamped for 1957. Horsepower from the 365 cu in (5.98 L)
engine was now at 310 hp (230 kW). Sparkling "studs" decorated the
wide new grille, while the rubber-tipped bumper guards were moved
further out towards the edges of the car - leaving a lower, wider
look. Four headlights, a style that appeared on last year's
Eldorado Brougham, were adopted for all Cadillacs, including the
$6,117 Sixty Special. Full fender skirts practically hid the rear
wheels from sight, and the massive ribbed stainless steel trim
occupied the lower half of the rear fender. Small vent windows were
added to Sixty Special's rear doors, and newly available power door
locks were optional. This marked the last year that the Sixty
Special would maintain a stretched GM C-Body until its return in
the 1965 model year. The model year 1958 would also be the last
that the Sixty Special script would actually appear anywhere on the
car. Sales for the 4,930 pound (shipping weight) car slid to 12,900
units - nearly half of last year's production.
