...virtue of its overlapping and horizonless geography, Los Angeles has also grown beyond the conn of single powers like the Chamber of Commerce or even the select, sacred California Club, whose once-powerful members coached the city from the sidelines (and relegated newsmen-even Timesmen-to the rear elevators of its pink brick sanctuary on South Flower Street). Instead, any random list of the most influential Southern Californians would include both native sons and latecomers whose only connection with each other is that they find themselves appointed more or less to the same civic committees.

CHEVROLET will be 5 in. longer, 3 in. lower (but still 1.5 in. higher than Chrysler's 1957 Plymouth), will get a new body and frame, a smoother-riding rear suspension and a bigger engine. One big styling change: new heavy tail fins, which jut out at a 45° angle...
BUICK and OLDSMOBILE will both get major styling surgery, especially Buick, which will probably lose its No. 3 spot to Plymouth this year. Buick, tossing away its unsightly 1957 roof struts and chopped-up rear windows, will have a smooth roof, wrap-around rear window, a revamped grille, dual headlights and tail fins...
CADILLAC will have a new hood, grille, fenders and rear quarter panels, bear a strong resemblance to the $13,074 (f.o.b. Detroit) Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. Dual headlights and air suspension will be standard items. Cadillac will also have, a fuel injection system...

To compete with Chevy's new engine, Ford will bring out a bigger (332 cu. in.) V-8 for its Fairlane series. Another big change: Ford's 1958 Thunderbird will jump into the family-car class with a new 113-in.-wheelbase model that has a back seat...
