  • No interest, 1958 wasn't a good year for Ford or GM.

Really beautiful American automobiles and I like them both ! As I have mentioned before, my family had a 1958 Chevrolet and our neighbors on either side of us had a 1958 Pontiac and a 1958 Oldsmobile. You would never believe 1958 was a recession year in the U.S.

Hmmm, tough one.  I like the front end of the Chevrolet a bit more than the Pontiac, so Chevrolet for me.

@ed-glorius I remember reading an article stating that the side trim on the ‘58 Bonneville represented a rocket with a glowing afterburner (reflector) leaving a contrail. I don’t know if it’s a true fact but it sounds right.

Very nearly a tie but I give the nod to Pontiac styling.  The side design and trim as mentioned by others is really attractive and the interior finish is better.  I would be proud to own either car though.

Bad year for car styling in general. Chevy is the only GMC car I actually like the styling of. But in the Impala trim only. Pontiac I like the '57 & '59 but not the '58.

 I would have bought a T-bird for '58.

I'm pretty sure you all know my answer.  Although I do like the Imp as well.😁

Not my favourite year but the Pontiac side trim is unique and gets my vote.
