For 1958, Ford dropped the base Custom and the Custom 300 became the new entry-level car from Dearborn. A new simulated hood scoop was added, but the fundamentals of the body were unchanged. The base engine was unchanged as well, however the first step V-8 was now the 292 at 205 hp, followed by a 332-cid Interceptor V-8 at 240 or 265 hp depending on carburetion. The Interceptor Special V-8 was 352 cid and 300 hp. Transmission options were unchanged from 1957.
