Dual-Purpose Sports Cars for 1959: CORVETTE
CAR & DRIVER Report
December 1958


Alone amongst sports cars, Corvette sticks to the Detroit habit of annual changes. Though far from all-new, the '59 models incorporate some interesting innovations; so much so that we opted for a comparison test of old and new at GM's Milford, Michigan Proving Grounds. Though but two Corvettes were sampled, we came away with a headful of contrasting thoughts, for they were as different as night from day. The white one sported all the '59 body and interior changes on a strictly boulevard '58 chassis—normal suspension, three-speed box (we drove off in reverse at first) and the single-quad equipped 283 cu in V-8 engine. It was, in fact, a mobile display car for itinerant journalists. The other machine was a choice item indeed. Though camouflaged by the older body—washboard hood panel and chrome trim strips on the trunk—it had all the chassis mods for '59, which included a four-speed box, Positraction rear and a "works-built" full-house power plant. Just our meat, and no wonder; it's Zora Arkus-Duntov's own company car, a natural test bed for new ideas.
