My dad had a 55 or 56 - similar but it didn't have the quad headlights.  Thanks!

You are welcome!

The 1953-55 look pretty much the same and the 1956 & 57 look the same.

The 1958 is the only one with the "wash board" hood. I can just see enough of it to tell what it is. The 58 also has two long chrome spears that go from the top to the bottom of the trunk lid.

Other than the hood and the chrome on the trunk of the 58... the 58, 59 & 60 all pretty much look the same with the 4 headlights. The 58 being the first Corvette to have the quad headlights.

Also...my Dad has a 58!
He has owned it since 1965.

My dad sold his Corvette when I was born in 1957.  From my point of view it was a good trade

I guess that you would have to ask him that question?
