Ford revised the Fairlane in 1958 with an all new facelift, including quad headlamps above a 1958 Thunderbird style front bumper and grille, broader side trim, scalloped rear deck, four oval tail lights, and longitudinal roof ribs (to strengthen those panels, a previous year '57 weakness).
Performance seekers were excited about the new engine advances that included the new "big block" 332/352 V8s, which replaced the old 292 and 312 V8s, and a more sophisticated three-speed Cruise-O-Matic self-shift transmission. The retractable hardtop Skyliner was again offered for the second year.
