Nice car but darn it; door handle guards installed upside-down! I bet half of them I see are like this.
Still, sharp '58.

Does rarity of the 58s make them worth more than the 57s?
I know most People want a Gold Golden Hawk, but could a rare color boost the value?My 1st car. "A TRANSTAR"

Was it still Tiara gold in 58? That color doesn't seem yellow enough to me. Were both 57 and 58 the same color gold?RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.

According to my 1954-1959 NAPA / Martin-Senour Automotive Color chip book, 1957 Tiara Gold was their formula #90R3291, whereas in 1958, the "gold" was known as White Gold and was formula #90G3521. There was no color known as Tiara Gold in 1958.

That makes sense. Thanks. I like the 57 gold much better than the gold in this auction.RadioRoy, specializing in AM/FM conversions with auxiliary inputs for iPod/satellite/CD player. In the old car radio business since 1985.
