For sale in our Dallas-Ft. Worth showroom is this gorgeous tuxedo
black 1959 Chevrolet Corvette convertible. This stunning car has a
beautiful red interior, a 270 hp 2x4 solid lift 283 with a 4-speed
transmission and wide whitewalls with knockoff hubcaps. To the
credit of all involved, the 1959 Corvette was "cleaned up"
considerably. For one, the chrome "suspenders" were removed from
the design, providing Corvette with a more swept back look that was
synonymous with speed. For another, it was decided that the faux
hood louvers would be eliminated, returning the Corvette to a
semblance of its former self. While these features were key
identifiers of the 1958 Corvette, there was no question that the
elimination of the excessive chrome would reduce weight and help
increase performance. Much like the exterior of the Corvette, the
interior received minor, but significant updates as well. Both the
door handles and the armrests were repositioned and a small-item
storage compartment was added beneath the passenger side grab bar.
In addition, both the driver and passenger seats were redesigned to
offer increased lateral support of their occupants. All tachometers
now indicated up to 7,000 rpm and offered redline and safe limit
indicators. Sun visors were introduced to the 1959 Corvette as a
new option and concave instrument lenses replaced the flat covers
of the 1958 Corvette, thereby reducing sun glare (and other
reflections) that might cause a driver to become distracted. To
