Correct radio knobs for 1956 & 1957 Corvette wonderbar

[Theodore K.]

Which is the correct knob for these years Corvette wonderbar, the smooth sided or the fluted side knobs. Same question for the 1955,1956 chevy pushbutton radio. I have seen both advertised and wondered which is correct. I think the fluted side for the Corvette wonderbar but am unsure.

Pictures in the Judging Guide show fluted knobs for both '56 & '57. I believe they were the same as '55-'56 Bel Aire, etc, but not sure.

They are NOT the same as any passenger car radio knobs. The Corvette radio knobs are much taller (deeper).

The smooth knobs were used on the 150 series '55 (and '56?) passenger cars.
