IIRC, in ~1955, when GM's spies saw what the '57 Exner-penned "Forward Look" Mopars would look like, they completely scrapped all of their '59 styling plans that were in the works. The '58s were already "set" by that time, unfortunately. I'm honestly curious what '59 GM designs would have looked like without seeing Exner's '57 designs in time.

1958 was NOT a good year for GM [or FoMoCo for that matter] styling. Luckily for Mopar, they simply warmed-over their aesthetically-successful '57 designs, which was the lesser of two evils.

I still like the '58 Chevrolets, but yeah, in general, '58 GM styling wasn't on top that year. Cadillacs looked OK, too, though they were basically carryover '57s with a revised quad-light front.

I still really like these. Black, teal/aqua and butter/yellow are my favorite colors for these.

Aegean Turquoise is my color choice for '58: https://www.mecum.com/lots/CA0818-3...evrolet-impala/
