Re: New Member - '58 Fuelie

These are correct for your 58. Starting in 59 they had slots near the rim.

Looks to be in pretty good shape too!

Great, thanks for helping confirm! They actually are in pretty good shape for the age. Good to know the changes from 58-59.

She cleaned up nicely after 6 years of sitting in a garage. Lots and lots of chrome! Previous owner shared a pic of her late husband from 1963. Car has a pretty cool story behind it.

Thanks Bert, Daniel and James.

Here's a little back story of the car. The Corvette was purchased brand new in Columbus, Ohio from a local doctor in town. This '58 was optioned as a hardtop only car with a few other goodies under the hood. On February 23, 1962, the 2^ndrdCorvette1.4.jpg

Congratulations Matt,,, you should be proud. You made a score that most of us only dream of!
To know the actual options that came on the car, was the Window Sticker still with the car, or Bill of Sale?
I think Monroney sticker only dates back to 1958 or 59..

Thanks Don! I do not have the window sticker or original bill of sale. I do have a copy of the original title and this write up (pic below) by the previous owner who purchased it in 1962. That's my only credible source - unless there is somewhere else to find?
