The rear door vent windows are visable and it has the President emblem on the grille. There were no short wheelbase '58 President 4dr's. so it has to be a "Classic" long wheelbase Sedan, 58H-Y6 model.
Commander 57 ◊ 2009-09-07 20:21	Yes. Definite aftermarket hood ornament. The 1958 line had no hood ornaments.
Commander 57 ◊ 2013-06-03 00:38	Belatedly correcting an error here. In 1956 and 1957, there were long and short wheelbase Presidents with the longer one being called the "President Classic" For 1958, the short wheelbase model was dropped and all models were simply "President" without the "Classic" name. As such, will delete "Classic" from the listing for this car.
