Chevrolet built 9,168 Corvettes for 1958 including this Signet Red roadster with Snowcrest White coves. Corvettes got more power for 1958 as the Vette’s metamorphosis to a more sophisticated sports car continued. New styling added 10-inches of length to the car and about two inches of width to the 1956-57 body. New elements included quad headlamps; then all the rage in Detroit, plus dummy front fender air scoops, louvered hood and twin chrome strips on the decklid. Despite all the added glitz, weight was little changed, owing to the still novel fiberglass construction.

This ’58 comes complete with the removable hardtop as well as a Wonderbar radio, automatic transmission and spinner wheel covers.
