Here's my old junk...






She's sportin' a 259/FOM now and I'm getting closer to stock with all the correct emblems and missing trim reinstalled. Sure is a decent cruiser!

Do you have one of these raritys? Lets see it!!

T.J., were you in Alpharetta today? A buddy of mine called to tell me he saw the back end of a black '58 Stude speeding away in front of him.

Did they ever make any F-body Commanders in 1958; either as a special order or export?

Craig, 44 58B-F1s were built in Hamilton. There were also 152 Marshal F1s built in So. Bend.

The Champion F4 like TJ has - there were only 1,455 built total.


5859, what happened to the pink and white one near you? The one you could see from 198 - it set collecting dust in the driveway of a pink and white bungalow.

Thanks for the information. I am aware of the small number of F1 Scotsman trimmed V8's. I am asking if there were any F4 Commanders that year since I don't believe that question has been answered before.

Yes, and I answered with what 2-dr Commanders had been built. Even tho their Scotsmans, their 58B bodies and their 58 Commander serial numbers would seem to make them more Commanders than Scotsmans. Marshals actually.

No, no 58B-F4s were assembled. Not for domestic distribution and not for export.

Thanks for the pictures. Mr Biggs, I don't know what ever happened to that 58. I stopped a few years ago and asked if it was for sale, but was told no. It disapeared not too long after that. It was actually in pretty nice shape, I do wonder what happened to it though.
