OMG another golden find 👍🏽 Super 58, it’s incredible.

[@loucostabile]

High praise. My pleasure sharing with you.

Inside and out, this '58 looks fantastic! Mr. Mondoux and his nephew certainly arrived at their first Carlisle show in style. It was nice to see another "3 on the tree", too. Thanks, Lou!

High praise.

[@SolamenteVees]

What a treat to see that one year-only 350 B-engine under the hood! This was the precursor to the 361/383/400... In my opinion, 1958 was the pinnacle of Exner-era Chrysler styling.

A real beauty of a car. My Dad had a '57 Plymouth 4-door &: later s '58 suburban wagon. Both push button autos. He would let me drive the wagon on my morning paper route sometimes. I was 12 or so. First car I ever drove.

[@loveisall5520]

Three speed column shifters have somehow gotten a bad reputation, seemingly mostly from those who have never owned one. I owned several in the distant past and loved them as it freed up the floorboard. There's an apparent mania now for speed in screeching little cars. I wouldn't want the overpowered engine in this Plymouth but that's just a matter of taste. There is no substitute for a convertible. With my convertibles the favorite time for me, here in hot Texas, was to drive top-down at night, especially in the country. And this beautiful car would be perfect for that! Thanks again, and best wishes from the Houston/Galveston area.

[@loucostabile]

Belle voiture M. Mondoux. Again another car Lou that's astonishing, this man knows how to restore a nice car. The engine is spotless like new. Bravo M. Mondoux and thank you Lou for bringing it up. Great video

[@LITTLE1994]

Christine as a convertible, basically.

[@loucostabile]

You're right.

[@jd4harley]

Well, Lou he did it again. This is the exact same car. My father bought used when I was a teenager and the very first car. He gave me a set of keys to with strict instructions. I was never to drive it unless it was around the neighborhood and I let him know about it, if memory serves me, I always thought it was a 318 because of the way the valve covers looked. They did not look like this car and he said it was a 350 Dads never had the dual antennas on the back which I always liked as a kid, but he did have the push button transmission, which was park reverse neutral Drive and low that was the first car I seen the speedometer go a little past 120 I had never been that fast in a car before dad was somewhat of a leadfoot and being how the top was down I remember I could see the carpet kind of floating because of the air pressure good old lad was no wonder. I had the cars that I had later on in life. Thanks again Lou growing up. I never seen another one that had three on the tree. They were either two speed push buttons or three speed.

[@loucostabile]

Hi James, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Fathers car and the 1st car he gave you the keys too :-) NICE! Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@craigjorgensen4637]

Very nice and very rare to have a three speed manual. I would remove the skirts for a cleaner look but that’s me!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Craig, Happy to read you appreciate this "Very nice and very rare to have a three speed manual" car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@OldRustySteele]

Craig, I agree - it would look better without the fender skirts. I think most of the 1940’s and ‘50’s cars look better without the skirts, with a few exceptions.

[@stickshiftdriver1832]

How did he start the car without pressing on the clutch

[@loucostabile]

I'm guessing he turned the key to on and had it out of gear.

[@stickshiftdriver1832]

@ I guess. I drive a 5spd and each time whether it’s in or out of gear I have to press the clutch for it to start

[@allencrider]

I had to look it up. It wasn't until 1963 that Plymouth and Dodge offered a 4 speed. A Borg Warner T10.

[@jeffreymartin6369]

What an amazing and powerful car! This is the work of a highly skilled immigrant from where Lou?

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jeffrey, Happy to read "What an amazing and powerful car!" :-) I'm not sure, but I think Canada, Lou

[@OldRustySteele]

Those gentlemen are from Quebec, Canada. They’re not immigrants - they’re visitors. They drove down with this great car visiting the Chrysler car show in Pennsylvania. If you look at 5:01, you can see the Quebec license plate on the back of the car.

[@jeffreymartin6369]

[@jeffreymartin6369]

@ ty as always Lou! This is a muscle car I can appreciate!

[@OldRustySteele]

@@jeffreymartin6369 No problem, Jeffrey. Glad to help. I used to do business in Quebec City occasionally. Great people and a very interesting city. The Old Quebec section downtown is the closest thing to a European style city we have in North America.
