Body off frame restored! #s match motor, factory colors and
reproduction Tri-Color interior. Upgraded with a 4-speed, power
disc brakes, lowered suspension and staggered size wheels. 1 year
only design, it's a beautiful car. More desirable today than ever
before!
EXTERIOR: Every panel of this car has intriguing style! It's a
clean, straight body that fits nice. Repainted its original color:
Cashmere Blue and it has a glossy finish. The chrome and trim are
straight and shiny and there's no shortage of trim! It even has
optional dual antenna. New windshield and weatherstrips. Correct
T-3 headlights. It's squatted down and looking really sharp on some
staggered size Billet Specialties wheels, they're 18s in front, 20s
in back.
INTERIOR: It's just as stylish on the inside. Restored nicely. Down
on the floor is new carpet, embroidered mats and the best part: a
4-speed! Blue seatbelts were added front and back. The seats were
reupholstered in the correct multi color upholstery. New
reproduction door panels, armrests, and handles. The dash and metal
trim were repainted. The headliner was replaced, the dome lights
work.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has a correct 1958 348 motor with factory
correct tri-power carbs. It also has the big air cleaner, glass
bowl fuel filter, stock valve covers. All three carbs are
functioning but runs on the center until you mash the pedal then
all 3 open wide! It has reproduction hoses and clamps although the
radiator is upgraded with an aluminum Griffin. It also has a new
power brake booster with a dual reservoir master cylinder. The
generator looks new. The engine bay and all the metal parts are
painted very neatly.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
glossy like the car. Inside is all solid metal painted a satin blue
with sound deadener and a new reproduction mat.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame, so the underside looks
fresh. All clean metal floors painted semi-gloss black. It has a
lowered suspension that's been rebuilt. The steering has been
rebuilt. The brakes have been upgraded with disc in front, the rear
drums were rebuilt, and the e-brake works. It has a new dual
exhaust neatly bent to run along the x-frame. New polished fuel
tank. Looking up at the motor it is spotless Chevy Orange with a
black flywheel cover. It has correct starter and canister type oil
filter. The Powerglide automatic was upgraded with a T10 4-speed
trans, the shift linkage looks fresh. The drive shaft is
rebuilt.
SERVICE: After our inspection we adjusted the throttle linkage,
fixed the reverse lights, replaced a vent window knob, fixed the
horn, adjusted the idle, repaired the speedometer head, fixed the
door locks and adjusted the e-brake.
Chevrolet unveiled an all new body for 58 and it lasted only 1 year
with the 59 being all new again. This 1 year design has been in
demand and now more so than ever. This one is a great example
because it retains its vintage charm while being updated to appeal
to a younger crowd too.
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
