You're welcome Jay, it really was a beautiful car.
When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

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!

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

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!

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...
