1959 Chevrolet Corvette
In 1935, Harley Earl design director for GM saw a special talent in
one Bill Mitchell and gave him an opportunity in the Art and Color
division. In December of 1958, he took over for Mr. Earl and
embarked on a less flamboyant approach to style. In 1959, gone were
the washboard hood and chrome rear deck spears but changes in the
interior for better comfort and convenience. This was the first
year for the T Handle reverse lockout feature and standardized 7,000
RPM Tachometer. This beautiful example features the 283CI 2x4
Barrel Carburetors, 4 Speed Transmission and factory hardtop.
