3 Fastest American Cars Of 1958!

A plain Chevrolet sedan, a fuel-injected Corvette, and a Plymouth driven across the country before it hit the drag strip. These were 3 of 1958’s most surprising performers. At number 3, the Plymouth Fury Golden Commando. Hot Rod drove it about 2,600 miles, then ran it at the strip. After a timing adjustment, it covered the quarter-mile in 15.9 seconds. At number 2, the Corvette with fuel injection. The 290-horsepower version reached 60 in 6.9 seconds. It was small, quick, and built to make driving feel exciting. But number 1 might be the biggest surprise: the Chevrolet Delray. It looked like a basic family car, but its 315-horsepower V-8 and 4-speed helped it hit 60 in 7.2 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 15.2. Which one would you pick: the Fury, the Corvette, or the sleeper Delray?
