From the standpoint of appearance, the 1958 Corvette was far more excessive than any of it’s predecessors.
While the car still reflected the design changes implemented in the 1956 and 1957models, the ‘58 Corvette now sported simulated louvers on it‘s bonnet(hood), non functional air intake scoops on either side of the grille and phony vents in the bodyside “coves”.
It also featured twin, chrome “suspenders” that ran from the base of the rear window down the trunk lid, before ending abruptly at the rear fender. Another notable departure from the earlier models was the addition of quad headlamps wrapped in a thick chrome bezel.
