Old family photos

I'm far from a Chevy fan, but I always thought the '58 was more attractive than the '55-'57s that are so popular. Unfortunately, being a first year and ultimately a one year design, they suffered problems and most owners got rid of them rather soon. If they came with a small block and PowerGlide, they were mechanically okay, but the 348 was troublesome and the optional TurboGlide quickly earned the nickname "TroubleGlide".

FWIW, those fender skirts that extended to the bumper were known as "Cruiser skirts", as they were styled after the factory skirts that came on the '57 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser.
