1958 Corvette C1 Tail Lights, Coves

1957 Corvette tail light The 1957 Corvette tail light (right) was stylish but it did possess a functional flaw: when viewed from the sides, illumination was a problem. For 1958 (below) the lens was nicely integrated into the contour of the fender. This solved the side visibility situation and also resulted in one of the best looking tail light designs in the history of the automobile.
1958 Corvette Wonder Bar radio. This was exotic stuff in 1958. Pressing the Wonder Bar button would cause the radio to tune to the next available radio station. It was just what one needed when traveling in unfamiliar areas. This was an era when technology was moving from vacuum tubes to transistors; think of it as hybrid technology 1950s style. It contained six low voltage vacuum tubes and one "Hi POWER" output transistor.
