A car that combines safety with performance, comfort, and compactness.
. Your immediate job is to select from among the 1958 cars with the most significant advancement. Which one would you choose?Would it be one of the cars with air suspension? Probably not, because there is much more development work to be done before these systems are even as good as our present steel spring systems.
Would it be for an item such as the electrical door-lock system on the Imperial? This is certainly a desirable safety feature, particularly since it is under the driver's control.Would you make the award to Chevrolet for being the one U.S. manufacturer who is continuing to develop and produce this country's only true sports car? We're glad to see it, but it truthfully is more of a rising to a challenge from overseas, than it is an actual advancement.

As long as present-day driving conditions are going to demand as much attention to driving as they do , I give my vote to separate front seats. I like maneuvering room for my arms and elbows. It's also one way to make that one-armed driver keep both hands on the wheel, both eyes on the road, and one mind on driving.The seats are not what I'd call true "buckets," because they're not contoured like those in race cars or sports cars.
