1958 Dodge
Runs well considering how long it sat. Seemed to idle a bit rough, but smoothed out with some rpm. Maybe just the exhaust making it sound rough?
I found it interesting to note the many differences between your 58 and my 59, even though they are the same basic car. What's the deal with the neutral button being used to crank the motor? I know that several makes back in the day put the crank switch in what today seem strange places. My grandad's 56 Buick had it under the accelerator (as I recall, been fifty years). My 59 just has a "normal" key switch start position. So does my 56 Plymouth. Wonder what years Dodge had the pushbutton cranking switch?
Way back you asked if 58 Dodges had build sheets. No idea about 58, but my 59 has one. Can't remember for sure, but I think I found it under the front seat. FWIW.
