And with over 65 years over Corvettes, there certainly is plenty to choose from. But milestone years tend to be the most popular. There is of course the ’53. The beginning of the legend is always significant. The ’57 is also a real popular choice. That year marked the end of sorts for that particular body style. There were actually four different body changes for the C1. From ’53-’55, ’56-’57, ’58-’60 and ’61-’62. During this time span, the cars transitioned from a Roadster to an actual Convertible with roll-up windows.Subsequent years saw Corvette grow wider and longer, add a couple of headlights, more cubic inches along with more horsepower and more gears to shift . . . until finally, Corvette hit a peak so to speak in 1958. The year of “Gingerbread”. This was the Jet-age. Wings here, tall fins there, chrome everywhere! And Corvette was not immune to this “treatment”.In ’58 everything was just a bit over the top. This was the first year for dual headlights. The car was also longer and wider than the previous year. The hood featured a simulated louvered hood and two chrome trunk spears out back. The look was polarizing at first. You either loved it or hated it. But, it’s said time heals all wounds. And as the years went by, more people started to appreciate the “Gingerbread” that adorned the ’58 Corvette. As a result, time has been good to this year Corvette and the desirability factor has increased, so have the values and along with the fact that there were only a bit over 9k ’58’s built, it is getting harder and harder to find ’58’s in general to sell, let along outstanding examples like the one presented here . . .We really lucked out with this one! Coming from a very discriminating collector in the mid-west, this absolutely stunning ’58 has undergone an extensive nut and bolt frame-off restoration by a renown restorer. The rare Regal Turquoise paint glows in the sun and it’s perfectly complemented by contrasting White coves and soft top along with a beautiful Charcoal interior. It’s powered by a 283 with a single Carter carb for rock solid reliability and a 4-spd. (the original 3-spd. comes with) for excellent drivability! The car is a dream to drive. The power delivery is excelent, the shifts smooth, it tracks down the road straight and steers like there’s power assist! Options include; Two-Tone paint, Whitewall ties, rare power windows, am radio and heater. This is the Corvette of your dreams. Make it a reality today! 1958 Regal Turquoise Corvette Convertible.Very correct, frame off restored.Regal Turquoise w/Charcoal interior, 283/230ho, 4-spd. transmission.Every Corvette fan has their favorite year or generation.
