It has a V8 engine, probably a 283, and an automatic transmission (Powerglide?), but the mechanical status of the car is otherwise unknown. We’re told the chrome and glass are good (except for one window), but no photos of the interior or engine compartment are provided. The body has several dents and dings, and rust appears to be mounting an attack in a few places. It was his/her first car, but that could have been more than five decades ago since it’s been in storage for so long. We don’t know a lot about the seller’s car. Beginning that year, Chevy stopped providing production numbers by model, so this car was one of 256,000 2-door sedans in total that the manufacturer built that year. If you wanted a no-frills Chevy in ’58, you ordered a Biscayne Coupe like the seller’s car, though this one was treated to optional two-tone paint. So, the ’59 Chevies gained “batwings” and “cat’s eye” taillights. Those vehicles made GM’s cars look bloated and dated even before they debuted. This was in response to the splash that Chrysler had made with its futuristic-looking Forward Look cars of 1957. The 1958 Chevrolets would be a one-year body style as General Motors quickly went to work with yet another redesign. Located in Hutchinson, Kansas, this Chevy is available here on craigslist for $6,000. This ’58 Biscayne is said to have been in a barn for 50 years, so it will likely need almost everything. The Biscayne began an 18-year-run as the entry-level model (except for the one-year Del Ray, also in 1958), replacing the bland-sounding 150. Sales would be off that year, perhaps due to the new styling but also because of a U.S. Chevrolet redesigned its cars in 1958 and they became bigger and bulkier in appearance than the Tri-Fives (1955-57) that preceded them.
