Custom 58's

This was just over on the JalopyJournal, but god damn it - it's worth posting all over the place.

The Impala's from 1958 are just about the coolest things ever for a foundation for a custom car.
They were as close to a factory custom as Detroit ever got.
These two are great examples.
Perhaps a bit more than I would be inclined to do to a 58, but still cool.

A slight shave and a big slam, that is about all I would do.
Oh, I would dip it into a vat of inky blue-black paint, too.
Stark white tuck and roll, with red piping.
Dark red carpet with white edging.
Multi-carb Caddy power, with lots o' chrome.
Cadillac wirewheels with pinner whitewalls.
Can you tell that I have though about this some.

58's are the shit.
