I remember as a kid we had a 58 Ford station wagon a County Squire if I remember correctly. It had the same 352 Interceptor engine. Never forget the day he traded in for a new 63 1/2 Galaxie 500 with a 390. He had a buddy who would come by in his new Galaxie but it had a 406 with 2 4 barrels and a 4-speed and give me rides. Good times.
@@frankbranstrom5048 He put the carbs on and a set of headers plus a few other modifications not long after he purchased the car. My dad asked him why he didn't just get the 427 to begin with and said that he would have to special ordered it at no discount. The 406 car was ordered by someone who never picked it up and the dealer gave him a great deal on it because it had been on the lot for a while. I believe that it also came with a 4:10 rear. It was a scary fast ride for a 12 year old me.
Thanks, always wondered how many COUNTRY SQUIRES , “really .”got the 352 HIPO ?……..oddly my 61 GALAXIE CONVERTIBLE 352 was *poor / underpowered,,*& my 352 /4 BBL 1966 GALAXIE 500 XL **4 SPEED was ok (* I updated whole Car a lot)…
Nice looking car, love the Black paint, and being a two door. Also like the front hinged hood, I have had two hoods open up on me while driving, and know of another guy as well :) The continental kit was installed on a two door, I would change that, but all else looks great.
'58 Fords are rare. We had a recession in '58, and production numbers were down. As well, for some reason '58 Fords rotted away very quickly. '58 was the first year for the 352 engine. It was the first of the FE engines, Ford/Edsel. A great engine, that went on to power many Fords in the 1960s, and in other displacements as well. I'd rather see an engine bay that looks like this one does, rather than one that's all cleaned up for a sale. Somebody loved this car, it can be seen in the bother that they took with adding a nice a/c unit, power front windows, upholstery, and in other touches too. One odd note, the hub caps here are 1964 Ford. The '58 hub caps have more detail and (subjectively) suit the body better.
My father pwned one exactly loke thie, i took mu drivers test in it and delivers my papers on my paper route in it. When i joined the Air Force in 1963 i was posted to France in 1966 and lived in Belgium. I needed a car to het to work so i we t to a local used can dealership in Belgium and ther was the same 58 Ford on the lot for a few hundred bucks and i bought it, kept driving it on posting to Germany in 1967. Great car.
Many , many years ago a relative of ours lived across the street from us. She had one of these beast. Yes beast. If memory serves me correctly she had a lot of issues with the '58 Ford. Her's was a two door sedan(post)..Finally she traded it in on a new '63 Plymouth. Thanks for posting Jeff!
My aunt had one in two tone black and yellow Maryland's state colors. It was ordered for the Sheriff of Howard Co., Maryland, but the county failed to purchase it because there was a serious recession that year. It was fully loaded with the police interceptor package including 3.52 ratio positive traction. She kept it 10 years as one of the best cars she ever owned. It would still fishtail with over 100K miles on it and lay down twin tracks of rubber.
One of my uncles bought the same all black '58 at Bielfield Ford in Detroit. His was an automatic without A/C & didn't have the conti kit. The Interceptor was a pursuit option for police departments. He said it averaged 8 mpg & could pass everything but a gas station.
50 years ago I worked for a ford dealership and one of these black beauties was in the impound shed ,sure wish I could have gotten it! Those are not the original hub caps!
Very nice car! I just learned recently that Ford offered some hot 352's. I inherited a '62 Galaxie with a 352, 2-barrel, from my Dad and it was dog, just a good workhorse engine. I would love to have this Fairlane, so many memories from that time.
I imagine that the Continental Kit would grow on you after awhile. To delete the kit at this point would likely require a few changes, and where are you going to find all of those parts now in mint condition? Not only the bumper needs to change but I can see shorter tail light lenses on the trunk lid so as not to be bumping into the spare tire (or longer lenses on the fenders to see past the tire), and then whatever needs to be added inside the trunk to relocate the spare tire. Best just to leave it the way it is. For all of your time and money, it would be much more fun just to make it go faster than worry about minor details. I'm thinking a crate big block V8, supercharged perhaps with a six speed manual gearbox and a floor shifter. That and some rear end upgrades and you'd have yourself a real sleeper. Take the old 352 and put it in your living room as a conversation piece. You can keep it warm and dry to pass on to the next owner. Nice car and probably incredibly rare!
Of all the cars is in the 50s and early 60s my white Fairlane 500 with the PIS ENGINE ,STRAIGHT SHIFT ,411 REAR ,HOLLYWOOD SMITTIES was the best and most favorite car including a 56 bike and white TBird with skirts and conti kit. Sure wish I had 20 big ones laying around.
Where's my 57 Belair? I do like black beauty's valve covers on that 58 352 (cougars are they? ) I liked the 58 ford's too I saw an auction where someone pd 80K + for a rusted junked 59 impala WOW convertible !
Cool ford stunning, looks like a predator ready to strike fast, inside so gourgeus, engine powerfull 😎, could be a powerfull batmobile 🦇, wow what a 🏩 hotie, thanks jeff and Jordan for this video i enjoy every moment from tom your friend now and always 🤩, PS got My New t shirt, say hello to asher Sam beans erika and have a wonderfull Day 🤩 🤩
Thanks for checking it out Tom, I really like this one too. I'm glad you got your T-shirt. Thanks again for your support my friend! I'll say hi to Erika and all the animals for you.
In the mid 60s, my Uncle had a 3-tone (Brown, red & tan) Fairlane 500 4 door... the car's front end was 3 feet higher than the trunk (A fad for hot rods at the time) To this day, I have no idea how he could see where he was going... about 1969, he drove drunk and smashed head on, into a tree (He was fine, but, the 58 Ford was pre-crushed and ready for recycling)!
Bonjour a tous du Canada A détail on the motor we can see a things look like a trumpet ,it's a wolf call horn, that work with the vacuum ,and control with a steel wire .
I drove a 5 year old Yellow 58 like this when I was a Senior in High School. I still have the full wheel covers from it in my garage. (I'm a pack rat) Can't remember if it was a 332 or a 352 motor. Auto Trans.
I’d get rid of that air waste of space an rubbish under the bonnet . But a very nice car. Don’t like the spare on the back. Widen the black rims a bit an but some white letter tyres on her it would look better . 👍🏻🇦🇺

The 406 never came with dual quads ?

Cool car!, looks kind of like a 58 Thunderbird from the front, 300 HP 352 that year also.
Really nice, I've just never been a fan of the continental kits. But that's just me. Thanks as always..
A continental kit looks out of place on this car, looks like a car a police detective would drive back in the day
One I’ve my favorite fords. ! And a ‘58 yet 😎😜😍
I wish I had an extra 20 grand laying around, I would buy that in a heartbeat.
I really like this one too. Thanks for checking it out!

I really like this one a lot, except for the Continental kit. Thanks for checking it out my friend!
@@RamblinAround I would say the Continental kit would bring quite a bit these days.
No continental kit for me just dont need anymore styling...
@@RamblinAround On this Ford that Continental kit just doesn't look right.
I concur, that continental kit has got to go. Selling it would more than cover the cost of a stock bumper to replace it.
This is a nice Fairlane 500.I like the body style of these.Nice paint and interior and plenty of power under the hood!.
Love the cap's & ring's, the hole car is 🔥
I like this on a lot too. Thanks for taking a look Robert!
Very very rare year and model that you rarely see today as compared to the 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 !
It would make the perfect moonshine runner
Didn’t take long for this 68 Cougar owner to spot the running cats on those valve covers! I built a FE 428 SCJ back in 1980, they had awesome torque.
Cars in those days had style
Unlike today
That is a very special car. I love it.
Back then you had a lot of options for what engine you wanted The big HP are rare to find in the old Fords
Very nice car
My dad had a 1957 post with a standard shift and a 312 police interceptor
We don't see many 58 Ford's.. Beautiful car..
This a perfect car to take a Sunday cruise in.
The '58 was my favorite Ford of the 1950s. Was only 4 years old when it came out and I was fascinated by it back then already.

Amazing car! I love cars from that era, especially with the four round headlights!
Bits of T bird come to mind here..Is that 352 a FE based engine.?...Pretty good shape for 64 years old.
Yep, the 352 is from the FE series. Thanks for checking it out Zig!

Interceptors were police engines?
Cool. Sharp car. That place seems interesting. I've been looking at their website. Probably why this came up for me on RUclips.
Yeah, they have a little something for everyone there. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

I'm starting to like the 58's
WoW, overdrive and A/C its a cross country cruiser.....
Looks great thanks
I had one just like it in 1970 but mine had a 390 in it
I could do without the continal kit, other than that it would be perfect, beautiful vehicle!
Nice car! What is that silver coned shaped thing next to the carburetor at 2:00?
@@Freedomquest08 I've seen them at swap meets but never seen them installed or knew what they were! Thanks

Cougar valve covers on a 352
the 57 is my favorite,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Man if its a cop car,it has the 2:45,it probly dont see outside alot,
I know that most would consider it a sin - but I always thought the ‘58’s looked better with that mini hood scoop filled in and deleted.
If u take your woman out on a date in this machine ....
Do you work at that place? I've driven by many times, never stopped to have a look. Maybe I'll pop in this year
my dad had one with the 406 interceptor. damn was that car fast lol.
I’d get rid of that air waste of space an rubbish under the bonnet . But a very nice car. Don’t like the spare on the back. Widen the black rims a bit an but some white letter tyres on her it would look better . 👍🏻🇦🇺
