The 58 Ford Panel Delivery received a minor restyling to it's front end. Specifications were exactly the same as the 57 with the exception of improvements to the engine and drive train. 8 colors were available in addition to Colonial White, which was also the prime color if you ordered the two-tone paint option. The other colors were Raven Black, Vermillion, Azure Blue, Midnight Blue, Seaspray Green, Gunmetal Grey, Goldenrod Yellow or Meadow Green. A paint delete option appears to have been available, which meant the vehicle was shipped primered for the new owner to have painted. Fleets could request special colors too, if their order was large enough.

As for power plants, the 139 hp. 233 cu. in. in-line 6 was standard with a 186 hp 292 cu. in V-8 availabel as an option. The basic unit came with a 3 speed manual transmission with a non-syncomesh 1st gear, but you could get a 3 speed with overdrive which was full syncromesh, Fordomatic, or a 4 speed with a granny gear (non-syncomesh) with either engine.

There was only one interior color combination interior colors, brown with a white hounds tooth pattern vinyl for the seats with brown hardboard door panels. A cargo compartment mat was availabe at extra cost in black, otherwise the floor was the same color as the rest of the vehicle.

This highly detailed 32 piece model, mastered by Curtiss Seeman, uses AMT/ERTL's 57 Ford kit for a donor. It comes in two versions, one with chrome bumpers, grill, parking lights and dog dish hub caps is $74.95, the other without chrome is $10.00 less. Three pewter door handles (2 right and 1 left), gas cap and 2 tail lights are also included.

You have lots of options when building this model, first off, many were produced without chrome bumpers and grills. The standard model used white paint in place of of the brightwork. In addition, The passenger seat, sunvisors and door armrests were optional and often were not installed in delivery vehicles. If you ordered the deluxe trim package, the vent windows were chrome plated, otherwise they were black. If you ordered safety package "A" you got a padded dash and sunvisors. Safety belts in were also available. While a frame mounted spare tire carrier was standard, the spare itself was optional. If you decide to build a basic version of this truck, all you need is one tail light which you'd mount on the left door since dual tail lights were an option for that version. Last but not least, an electric shaver was available as a dealer added option :-)
