    A gold '58 Corvette?

    When Chevrolet celebrated its 39,000,000 millionth automobile produced, it happened to be a '58 Corvette according to the book, "Birthplace Of Legends"

        Thanks for your reply Jack-funny, the article states it was painted a special gold color-even shows a picture coming off the line. I'll bet it was re-painted after the big ceremony. TP

            Terry,

            Check the archives. There have been long threads on this before, and I believe one member actually ordered his new 1958 Corvette in Gold as well - and no, I'm not talking Panama Yellow.
