This 1958 Plymouth Belvedere Convertible is a beautifully restored,
Forward Look wing car with fantastic options! The Plymouth
Belvedere first appeared in 1954 as the brand's new top-of-the-line
offering, replacing the Cranbrook and quickly becoming a standout
in Chrysler's lineup. Just a few years later, during an
industry-wide downturn, the 1958 Belvedere emerged with a
completely refreshed appearance, shaped by Virgil Exner's
celebrated "Forward Look" design language. Under this bold styling
direction, Chrysler vehicles adopted futuristic, jet-inspired lines
and a more aerodynamic profile-features that defined the
Belvedere's striking presence. The 1958 Plymouth Belvedere
Convertible showcased these design cues brilliantly, from its
dramatic front fascia to its sweeping side trim that flowed
seamlessly into the prominent tailfins, referred to at the time as
"Directional Stabilizers." These details gave the car a distinctly
modern look that perfectly captured late-1950s automotive style.
Adding to its rarity and desirability, the Belvedere Convertible
was the only open-air model offered by Plymouth in 1958, with
convertibles making up less than 7% of total Belvedere production
that year. Today, the 1958 Plymouth Belvedere Convertible stands as
a highly sought-after example of Exner's Forward Look era-an icon
of mid-century American design and a true collectible classic. This
particular '58 Belvedere Convertible comes to us from a fantastic
caretaker who owned the car for over 25 years. Powering this 1958
Belvedere is a "Power Pack" 318 cubic inch V8 topped by a single 4
barrel carburetor that together were said to have produced 250
horsepower when new. The 318 V8 is mated to a PowerFlite Automatic
Transmission that is shifted via the iconic, futuristic Mopar
push-button shifter. Exhaust exits this Belvedere's powerplant via
a dual exhaust setup that generates a terrific throaty sound out of
the rear tailpipes. This 1958 Plymouth comes loaded with fantastic
options! With power steering, squeezing in and out of a tight
parking space at the local car show is super easy, and the overall
driving experience is much improved. Further aiding with tricky
parking situations, along with lane changes, are a pair of chrome
outside mirrors that allow you to more easily see alongside this
Belvedere. Power brakes are another welcome addition on this
classic Plymouth Convertible since it greatly reduces the effort
required to bring this Belvedere to a complete stop. The white
vinyl power convertible top is in fantastic condition, going up and
down with ease with the flip of a switch. And, when the top is in
the lowered position, it tucks neatly below a matching white vinyl
boot. Riding on a set of wide whitewall tires mounted on steel
wheels and accented with full wheelcovers, this 1958 Belvedere
Convertible has an outstanding look whether parked, or cruising
down the road. The chrome and brightwork around the exterior of
this '58 Plymouth looks great as well, and really sets this car
off! The body of this '58 Belvedere has been refinished in
beautiful Jet Black paint that completes the exterior look of this
wonderful car. The interior of this 1958 Plymouth Belvedere
Convertible is absolutely stunning! The front and rear bench seats
have been reupholstered in a two-tone color scheme consisting of
white vinyl with period-correct black patterned cloth inserts. The
matching upholstered door panels, black carpeting, padded dash, and
steering wheel are all in fantastic shape and all appear to remain
in their stock configuration. All 4 power windows go up and down
easily, all with a little flick of a switch. Further adding to the
futuristic layout of the interior of the '58 Belvedere is the
rearview mirror that sits atop the dash. The luxuriously-trimmed
instrument cluster comes equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer,
temperature gauge, and fuel gauge, along with a clock and indicator
lights for oil pressure and amps. The dash is finished off with
various vehicle controls, a locking glovebox, and an AM radio.
Whether you're a seasoned Mopar collector adding to your collection
or you're buying your very first classic car, this 1958 Plymouth
Belvedere Convertible would make an excellent choice. Give
