My best friend at the time had one just like this one white and a 348 with tri power from the factory. It did not have the Crager mag wheels. I see there is a lot of discussion and comparison between the 57 Chevrolet and the 58. The 1958 Chevrolet was the first of the ‘B’ bodies while the 57s and before were ‘A’ bodies. The A bodies were discontinued with the 57 model. ‘A’ bodies returned in 1964 with the Chevelle, Pontiac Tempest, Oldsmobile Cutlas, and the Buick Skylark. The first ‘A’ bodies began in 1926 with the Chevrolet Superior and ended temporarily until 1964.

My uncle bought a white one exactly like this one. I loved that car. I was heartbroken when he told me he was going to sell it. I cheered up when he showed up at our house in his new '67 corvette convertible. It was the one with the optional hard top. He kept it for 2 years, but had to sell it because he collected too many speeding tickets. He offered it to me for $4,000, but I couldn't afford it at the time, since I was a senior in college. I would have killed myself in it. It had a 427/450 engine.
