1958
GM marks its 50th anniversary with the year-long Golden Milestone celebration. The theme is "From the Progress of the Past - the Promise of the Future".
The first demonstration of an automatically guided automobile takes place at the GM Tech Center, introducing the possibility of a built-in guidance system for tomorrow's highways.
This year GM also sponsorize "American Look".The definitive Popoluxe film on 1950s automotive, industrial, interior and architectural design.
Although the 1958 Buicks keep last year's roof line and fins, there are new curves in the sheetmetal again this year. The 1958 Buicks almost pass for Oldsmobiles of the same year, equally sharing the same amount of afterghought chrome. Buick production is a low 257,124 setting Buick in fifth place. Buicks are capturing the prestige market's attention as prices reache a high of $4,700, and strangely enough, a low of $2,900. Debuting with the Ford Edsel, and being outlived by it, is Buick's air bag suspension. A fan belt driven compressor feeds air to a tank located between the frame horns. From there the compressed air is routed to each of the four air bags, which replaces the coil springs. Fortunately, this system is optional, front and rear, on this year's Buicks. In 1959 it will be optional on the rear only, then faded out of production. Getting back to 1958, Buick offers a dual exhaust system with two resonators placed before and after each muffler.
1958 also marks the debut of Germany's four-cylinder Opel, which is to be sold through American Buick dealerships.
In January Ford's Mercury, Lincoln and Edsel divisions are joined to form M-E-L (Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln) Division.
This year Ford comes up with more "rocketry" in their concept cars: the DePaolo and the X-2000.
The first Toyotas and Datsuns are on sale in the US.

Prior to this 1958 broadcast, live TV shows were routinely preserved in monochrome either by film kinescope recording, or beginning in 1957, on black and white Video Tape. This is the first TV transmission recorded (and wonderfully preserved) using color Video Tape in the World! That happened in Wichita, Kansas, in October, 17, 1958. The show was an acclaimed Emmy award-winning NBC special, "An Evening with Fred Astaire", sponsored by Chrysler Corporation. ClickHEREto watch this video on YouTube
