......very nice black Impala. But he spent 3 grand and couldn't get the tripower to work right ? , who are the crooks that took his money for a simple task that they could not perform ? I could do it outside in a parking lot with 2 screw drivers , a few wrenches and a little glass bottle of Coca Cola on the fender. Nice to see the man enjoying his dream car.

.....I built 2 tripower systems , working on a 3rd now , they work great.

Michael is this a stock colour for a 58 Chev? I ask because no one would ever accuse my father of being on the wild side and yet he bought a 59 Pontiac with a very similar colour. The pic of the 59 Pontiac wagon was the same colour Strato Chief he bought...

 

[XFIRE82]

Yes, the 58 color was Cay Coral Metallic , not common , I have one parts car that color. The 59 Pontiac was Royal Amethyst Metallic . The 59 color is similar to the what I used on my 49 chev 5 window, an awesome color.

There was a tv show Ed the Talking horse, but what this is all about is anybody's guess. looks like a young moose ready to ride in a parade.

Another happy buyer, maybe sitting in Michael's yard now...

 

[XFIRE82]

Wish that Nomad was in my yard, but the Nomad I have was black from new. The show room is full of new 58's, really like the signs in the window. Just a skiff of snow on the sidewalk.

......to give you an idea of the trunk size, after my cousins wedding I loaded 36 12pack empties of beer into the trunk.

Rare motor type for a sprint car...

 

[XFIRE82]

well that heavy W block helped keep the front down.

They look so good in black...

This one is just too plain Jane for us...this is what we are looking for...

Guys in the Pontiac seem to be having all the fun...

 

[XFIRE82]

......looks like a all RagTop Parade . The chev behind the Pontiac has a Pontiac grill. There isn't a car newer than 58 on the street.
