First edition of this fairly uncommon dealer’s brochure for the updated 1959 Corvette which cleaned the 1958 version considerably, by removing the chrome suspenders, eliminated the faux hood louvers, and significantly reduced the chrome trim. The 1959 seats were redesigned, with tachometers indicating up to 7000 rpm, offering redline indicators, and introduced sun visors, as well as concave instrument lenses to reduce sun glare. No copies in Worldcat.
