1958 Chevrolet C1 Corvette Roadster

Black.

The 1953-62 C1 Corvette, (often referred to as the solid-axle models), featured a fibreglass body and was available as a roadster only.

The '58 Corvette received a styling update, it was slightly longer and wider. Single headlights were replaced with quad, bumpers were larger front and rear, different tail lights and the side coves revised. The interior got a new dash with the instruments now in front of the driver, and a new console.

The 1958-60 Corvettes were very similar, exclusive to the 1958 model were hood louvers and the trunk had chrome strips running down its length, these items disappearing for the 1959/60 cars.

1958 engines; 245 or 270hp 283 cu in V8, fuel injected option (250 or 290hp)

This 1958 Roadster has the Auxillary Hardtop option, it was removable and came in the same colour as the body.
