They were big and bold and yes, they were "All New".  They looked like no other Pontiac ever had before.  They were no longer "an old man's car".  They were advertising excitement and style and in a unique styling year, they were among the most attractive of General Motors line-up. considered along with Chevrolet to be more appealing than their older brothers Oldsmobile, Buick, and Cadillac.

The year was riddled with a recession and some radical styling cues from all of the Big Three.

LOL, of course I didn't say it in my post, but everyone knows that my personal favorite of GM's '58 line-up was the OLDSMOBILE.  I'm a lonely man with liking that car.  Sad

“I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac 
Just about to lose my mind... livin on Tulsa time.”

It was Williams' eighth number one on the country chart, spending a single week at number one and eleven weeks in the top 40.  It was also recorded by Eric Claptonfor his 1978 album Backless and a live version by Clapton from his album Just One Nightbecame a #30 Billboard hit in 1980.

Lyle Lovett has one titled “Pontiac” but a little to grim for the forum I think.
