Its a 58-61 Vette from what I know; def not older than a '58 or newer than a '60. They looked about the same for those three years, so its hard to nail it down to a specific unless you know the small changes that were indicitive of each model year.

Negative, '57 had different tail lights and the exhaust exit on the bumper was round, not oval like the '58-'60 models.

ok....if it is a '58 it's a later in the year one....the reflectors underneath the tail lights were a "change" for the next years model

If it is a '59(which is my guess)....the door key hole is pulled out a little from the door(like a modern day key hole)....the stiching in the seats are horizontal....the "compartment" underneath the grab handle(passenger side) is the same color as the enterior of the car

If it is a '60....the key hole is flush with the door....the stitching on the seats are vertical the grab handle have colored bars behind them

There aren't much differences in these years and you can't really tell what year it is unless you look....my suggestion is to go to the "car show" in front of McKays in Ltown and ask the guy

Hell, I don't know what it is...it is beautiful. I happen to think my Vette is gorgeous...and after the last week, she is more special to me than you could ever know.
