Joe
Thanks for the pictures.  I may have seen that R+W  58 flip top at  Star Drive In.
 

You're welcome Jay, it really was a beautiful car.

Wow Joe. I was looking at the option list..... the AC was more money than the 300 horse FE!
What I really want to know and see... is the electric razor option!

I did too Jeff, unfortunately, it is listed as part of the "base price" on a "Skyliner". I guess we would have to compare it to a base price of a "1958 Fairlane 500"

Crazy, if you look at the price of that Skyliner and you adjust for inflation; $5,192.60 would be the equivalent of  $53,214.45 today!

Awesomness! I thought where I am going next week was a cool place to have a car show.......doesn't compare to what you just posted. Thanks for making me homesick Joe, lol.

Glad to help Rich; I'm with you, I don't think I could ever live a way from the ocean. 

Thanks for the cool pics.  There are two 58 retractable for sale same color two if any one wants info.  Somewhat reasonable prices too.  I can forward the posting I found. 
Crazy that the Victoria is the highest price vs let's say a Squire wagon 

Joe Great day for Onset and super pic of your place. John V

DO NOT put that in front of me!!! I have already reached my limit...I think...
wife already sure I am nuts. DO NOT...I mean D-O N-O-T put that ad in front of me!!!   

Hahahaa! Good one.  I did post that 57.

Yea...I see...but I am NOT gonna buy it...I'd go to the bank and borrow the money for Alvin's Retractable first. WHEW!

A brand new Skyliner today could certainly sell for $53k or more!

That is a kool window sticker although they didn't really come out till 1959.
They were nicknamed "Monroney labels" after the legislator who pushed it through Congress.
A number of those options were over the parts counter items only but, still very kool!

Ron.

Anyone heard from Gunther lately? I was kind of surprised he didn't pop up on the thread about the '57 I bought, but haven't seen him on any other threads lately either.

I fired off an email to him but haven't got a response yet. Not sure if Jay has talked to him either...
