The 1958 Chevrolet Corvette featured a redesign of both interior and exterior features. Some thought the changes to be tacky for the time; too much chrome, too much shaping. However, yesterday's ugly duckling is today's swan, and many Corvette fans love the 1958's styling. Among available colors was Regal Turquoise, an interesting combination (since when does royalty sport blue-green?)

Regardless, the '58 'vette could produce, as evidenced by the speedometer notched to 160 mph. A 283-ci four-barrel engine rated at 245 horsepower was the most popular engine, but a 283-ci, fuel-injected version could achieve 290 horsepower.
