For Sale: 1958 Pontiac Chieftain in Cookeville, Tennessee

Vehicle Description

Very few things scream Americana like a 1950s full size station wagon. 1958 was a sweet spot in the styling between the rounded look of the early '50s and the crazy fins that were soon to reach epic proportions.

In a nutshell this is a good wagon to either drive ratty or restore. She still has her original 370 in� Pontiac V8 which runs beautifully. The carburetor is freshly rebuilt and she has a new fuel pump. Power is put to the ground through her smooth shifting Hydramatic 4 speed automatic. The engine runs cool, has no bad habits and has good oil pressure. The brakes were rebuilt including new metal line from front to rear as well as new hoses.

Overall the body is in respectable condition. The doors close with a nice thud and she has good panel gaps all around. There are a few perforations in the floors and the left passenger floorboard has been patched. New stamped panels are readily available and inexpensive. There is some rust in the rockers and doors and just along the front lip of the hood. This is evidenced in a few places by perforations and others by some bubbling under the paint. While this car does have some rust it is not what you would call a rusty car. The frame is straight and solid. The interior is mostly original and fairly ratty. The seats do fold down but this particular car was not equipped with the third row seating.

If you wished to drive the car in her current condition she'll need new tires. The tires on the vehicle are in awful to horrible condition :-), but we did not replace them since the new owner may not even wish to use the steel wheels. The drivetrain seems to be in very good usable condition.

All the trim is present and in respectable unrestored condition for a 65-year-old car.

She's sweet, she's pretty and she needs your love.
