Commander 57 ◊ 2009-12-19 16:37	Looks like the '56 - '57 only style rear to me.
rjluna2 ◊ 2009-12-19 19:24	Matty is correct. The rear-end style continues until 1960.... If anyone can tell the difference between 1956/57 and 1958/60 at the rear end style, you are welcome to let us know.
DynaMike ◊ 2009-12-19 20:02	Even if it's not the rear end it's the short rear bumper ends and the side moulding (no dummy air scoop) that exclude the 1958+ versions. Also the 1958 models (only) had chrome strips on the trunk. So I agree with Commander 57: 1956/57.
Commander 57 ◊ 2009-12-19 21:36	Yes. DynaMike's comments are what I was referring to. I should have been more specific. Regardless, '56 or '57, only.
DynaMike ◊ 2009-12-19 22:05	Btw, I just saw that this car is listed as coupé. It sure looks like one, but it wasn't until 1963 that the Corvette was sold as coupé as well. Until then there was only the roadster. Obviously this one has a hardtop, though.
rjluna2 ◊ 2009-12-19 22:14	According to Dammann at the book, this one has $200 hardtop accessory. So, offically, this still should be listed as convertible...
