Lot #478 - The 1958 Corvette convertible is a one-year-only special design featuring the louvered hood, unique chrome trim contouring the trunk and very first of the four headlight system and special dash with all gauges favorably positioned in front of the driver. This beautiful Signet Red example is accented with Snowcrest White coves, charcoal interior and restored originally and mechanically with the matching-numbers reliable 283/230hp engine including rare original carburetor with proper ID tags. The transmission is also a rare factory-ordered Powerglide automatic, reliable and easy to drive. The 1958 model was the fastest, strongest and best handling C1 to date; revered as the most unique and collectible of all early solid axle Corvettes.
