This 1958 Chevrolet Del Ray is a great entry level classic car with
some custom 50s flair! Coming off the success of the 1957 model
year, Chevrolet entered 1958 with big changes that marked both a
new design direction and General Motors' 50th Anniversary
celebration. While the American auto industry faced economic
headwinds that year, Chevrolet pushed forward with an all-new
lineup that ranged from the entry-level Delray to the
top-of-the-line Impala-each reflecting the brand's modernized
"lower, longer, and wider" styling. For 1958, the Chevrolet Delray
represented exceptional value and style in the full-size car
segment. The Del Ray was completely redesigned from the ground up,
showcasing a sleeker profile, a bold new front grille, and the
all-new dual-headlight design that replaced the single headlamps of
1957. This updated front fascia gave the car a more upscale and
contemporary look, while the sculpted body sides and subtle chrome
accents added a touch of sophistication not often seen in an
entry-level model. At the rear, the 1958 Delray featured
Chevrolet's dramatic new styling theme, highlighted by
"missile-style" taillights set within sweeping rear quarter panels
that replaced the previous year's tailfin design. The result was a
look that captured the spirit of late-1950s American automotive
design-bold, futuristic, and unmistakably Chevrolet. The 1958
Chevrolet Delray remains a favorite among collectors and
enthusiasts today for its clean lines, vintage charm, and
historical significance as part of Chevrolet's Golden Anniversary
lineup, and of course its approachable price point-a car that
perfectly blended affordability, performance, and mid-century
American style. This particular Chevy Delray comes to us from a
local '58 Chevy collector who stewarded the car for the past 17
years. Under the hood on this '58 Del Ray is a 283 cubic inch V8
engine fed by a single 2 barrel carburetor. The 283 V8 is backed by
a 3 speed manual transmission with a floor mounted shifter that
makes this 1958 Chevy a really fun car to take on a Sunday cruise.
Exhaust exits the small block Chevy powerplant via stock exhaust
manifolds and out a dual exhaust setup that generates a terrific
throaty sound. You'll have piece of mind while hanging lanes and
squeezing into a tight parking space thanks to dual chrome outside
mirrors that allow you to see down the sides of this Chevy 2 door.
This 1958 Del Ray rides on a brand new set of wide whitewall radial
tires mounted on steel wheels and finished with polished full
wheelcovers that together give the car a fantastic look and even
better ride! The body of this 1958 Chevrolet has been refinished in
a custom Fathom Blue Metallic paint that completes the exterior
look of cool classic car. The interior of this 1958 Chevrolet Del
Ray is a major highlight! The front and rear bench seats have been
reupholstered in Grey cloth with Blue diamond-stitched cloth
inserts and blue piping that give the car a custom yet
period-correct look and feel. Additionally, the door panels, sun
visors and headliner have all been re-done, sporting matching
upholstery. Brand new blue carpeting was recently installed and
complements the Fathom Blue metallic painted dash and stock
steering wheel. The instrumentation includes a 120 MPH speedometer,
temperature gauge, and fuel gauge. The stock instrument cluster is
further supplemented by a pair of VDO gauges for temperature and
oil pressure which are mounted neatly under the dash. The dash is
finished off with a clock, locking glovebox, various controls, and
an upgraded Sony AM/FM/CD entertainment system that will allow you
to listen to all of your tunes while cruising down the road.
Whether you're buying your very first classic car or you're adding
to your existing fleet of blue bowties, this 1958 Chevrolet Del Ray
would make a great choice. Give Ellingson's a call today at
