Pat I went to look at a four door Ranch Wagon just this morning. It is a 332 two barrel carb. The introduction of the new FE series engine was confusing at best. The whole FE seies in '58 was referred to as Interceptors, 332 two or four barrel as well as the 352. I've never seen any Ford literarture that referred to them as Thunderbird Interceptor or Police Interceptor, just Interceptor. The 352 though did have the little Interceptor Special badge on the glove box lid. As late as a year ago, until I bought a NOS glove box emblem I would have bet money that the emblem said Police Interceptor Special, not so! Pat I found a beautiful Wikipedia page for the '58 Del Rio.
