There is an earlier submission of this '58 Chevy which shows the occupants with blood and injuries, thus it had to be rated "adult".
https://inkbunny.net/s/2199709
This submission is posted without the injured victims for the viewing benefit of those who have filters set to block out adult and mature material.

The setting is on Route 285, north of Encino, New Mexico on August 1st, 1960.
The accident was caused by a rather innocent mistake...A beaver couple were heading northbound in their 1958 Chevy Delray (Delray being the lowest price series Chevy back in those days) when the male focused his attention away from his driving long enough to allow the right wheels of the car to run off of the pavement. Instinctively, the male beaver immediately steered back onto the pavement without first slowing down...And at 70 mph, that caused the car to fishtail as it veered across the highway. When the male tried to correct the car, he over steered, thus causing the car to violently fishtail out of control before flipping over.

It's a sure bet that everything will turn out okay for the beaver couple...As for their then two year old Chevy that is now totaled, a car can always be replaced.
The Chevy was a Delray series, which in 1958, was even a lower price series than what the Biscayne was.
The car was a modestly equipped version with very few frills and no A/C. It had a 235 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder motor with a Turboglide automatic transmission...It did have two tone paint being gold and white.

The beaver couple were enjoying this song playing on the car radio just before the crash;
Duane Eddy - Because They`re Young
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKm2_67xtVs
That song had been released only 4 months earlier in April of 1960...In fact, what drew the male beaver's attention away from his driving was adjusting the radio's tuning knob to get better reception and eliminate static...Had he let his wife do that, the wreck could have been avoided.
By the way, the radio stopped playing as a result of the crash because the car's battery was busted during the roll over

Car radios were really something back then.

Most of them being AM only with a mono speaker inside the top of the dash.

Still looked cooler. And this was the time 4 and 8 track tapes were coming in but I don't know if they paid more for them, as they didn't pay for the extra safety features also.

I don't remember seeing 8 and 4 tracs back then.  I could be wrong, though I don't remember seeing them that far back.

Edit:
I just now Googled it. 4 trac was around in the late 1950s which I was not aware of.  
8 trac came out in the late 1960s, which I figured they did.

Just coming in as I read early Mustangs (quite a few where I live) could have them as extras. Like you said it was usually just an AM radio with FM at an extra cost and at this time those players.

Also I meant they looked cool with the knobs and switches.
