Less than 10,000 1958 Corvettes rolled off of the St. Louis, Missouri assembly line. This Snowcrest White example is beautifully complemented with blue vinyl upholstery and the iconic silver coves. In the early days, Corvette consumers left dealerships with hard or soft tops. This has the former—which is easy to remove before sunny drives. It is one of just 2,057 automatic transmission cars built. This Powerglide roadster features the reliable 230 horsepower single carbureted motor. The previously frame-off restored car shows lots of provenance to the first year of dual-headlight straight axle ‘Vettes. Complete with one-year-only louvered hood and trunk spears, this ‘58 (#6,387 of 9,168) stands proud as a fine specimen. This Corvette is ready for the open road and any judging event.
