Well guys, this is #9 FL for me...i just bought a 58 wagon via facebook....i'll have it here in AZ in about a month or so if all goes well... its up in Montana....looks clean...the owner did state that there are a couple of small rust holes in the front floor....but looking at the pictures the body look real clean rust wise...spare wheel cover is intact...but the thing i really got excited about it the low VIN number LD3**2946 002946?...what did they start at in 58?....if anyone knows a little more....please chime in..I've asked for a photo of the data tag......its not a Custom Sierra...but its got the 350 and does have tinted glass....no A/C from what i can make out in the photos...looks like it was white with red trimmings...i'll try to down size the photos and upload them to here

Been wanting a wagon for a few years now...but the darn things are hard to find without being all rusted out to hell...or priced out of my range

Congrats and/or condolences.

Do you know of a cure for this FL disease/compulsion/obsession?

Nice, John! It looks like a great car. I think Dodge started with 1001 (all models and body styles)...so this is the 1,946th Dodge to roll off the line in 1958 from the Hamtramck plant. That is early!
The images look like it may have come from Freeman's.

Looks good and solid.

Looks like the central Montana area, cars survive fairly well there.

Blue? I've never heard of that. All '58 motors should be silver (some parts gold for 300, Adventurer or Fury). Big blocks in '58 Desoto's and Custom Royals are definitely silver. Would they change the color for wagons? I don't think so. I would think your motor should look like this picture. Great project, by the way. Looks like you and I share the same mopar condition.

I asked a question months ago about my blue 56 D500 315 hemi engine. Consensus was a) it left the factory silver and b) rebuilders liked to use blue paint of some sort for reasons not made clear to me.

Conclusion was my engine had been rebuilt at some point.

I need to correct myself and note that this particular 1958 Dodge probably rolled off the line in 1957.
I should have wrote "...this is the 1,946th 1958 Dodge to roll off the line in 1957..."

Nonetheless, it is a really cool wagon, John. I had a very early production Royal Lancer coupe and it originally had / has 1957 seat fabric!
I have dreamed a long time about getting a 1958 Dodge Suburban. Few and far between...

I love my 57's...but i just seem to think the 58 Dodge wagons looked so much better ..either way, glad i got one at last...
I'll check my 58 Custom Royal 4dr ht tonight...im pretty sure it has a silver block and black valve covers, this car is a 1 owner and never been touched...even the seats are like brand new!!
