    OK, I'm not a vette expert, so I will stand corrected, I guess it's not a 1958. Was going on the markings on the taillights that were marked/stamped 1958!
    Oh yeah, older cars did that and surely from 1958-60, not sure about replacement tails back then though.

    Sweet! I swear every old Corvette's paint looks like that. Even at car shows. I'm always amazed that these guys have these incredible antiques and they just look terrible. Thank goodness they were smart enough to bring it to you.

    That is a very interesting bit of trivia.

    Amazing work as always!!! How did you address the chrome trim around the windows?

    I have a 1965 corvette coming next week and it has the same chrome trim, but it looks more weathered than this one. This will be my first antique and dont want to ruin anything.

    Thank you!

    I polished it using the finishing polish and a used pad to try to bring it back to life. Then it got sealed with the rest of the surfaces.
