About the 1958 Corvette
The 1958 Corvette had 4 headlights instead of two in prior years. The front grille was similar, but with four less chrome bars. Inside the Corvette, there were many changes. Mainly, all the instruments were positioned in front of the driver instead of spread out across the dash board, not to mention a center console was added. In addition, seatbelts became standard.
About 10% of 1958 Corvettes were ordered with the 290 horsepower fuel injected V8. A Corvette with the 230 horsepower standard engine hit 60 mph in 9.2 seconds, while its big brother with 290 horsepower reached 60 mph in 6.9 seconds.
