The 3rd generation Belvedere was considered so revolutionary on its 1957 debut, that it was heralded with the slogan - Suddenly its 1960. And sales reflected that optimism. Standard on all body styles except the convertible was the "Powerflow 6" L-head engine. with an optional "Fury" 301 cu in (4.9 L) version as well as a "High-Performance PowerPAC option A manual transmission was standard with the push-button two-speed PowerFlite optional and the push-button three-speed TorqueFlite automatic also optional on V8 cars.

The 1958 model gained notoriety with a 2 door hardtop, featured as Christine in the Stephen King film of the same name, billed as a Fury but with Belvedere trim.

The 1958 model was a continuation of the 1957 styling, with the option of the big block "B" engine of 350 in V8 with dual four-barrel carburetors dubbed "Golden Commando" was optional on all models...
