What was GREAT in '58??? Dwight Eisenhower was president. John Paul XXIII succeeded Pius XII as Pope. Rock and Roll continued to flourish as Elvis Presley entered the Army. The first ever major league baseball game in CA was played. "The Bridge on the River Kwai" won 7 Academy Awards. Alaska became the 49th state. Air Force Academy opened in Colorado Springs. PanAm flew the first trans-Atlantic flight from New York to Paris. 1101 DRIFTWOOD AVENUE WAS BUILT. This mid-century classic has had only two owners and reflects a bygone era. It lacks upgrades but has been carefully maintained. No matter how you describe it - mid century, classic, retro or fixer - seeing it will take you back in time.
