I do think the 57 had a solid lens over the entire tail light housing, whereas the 56 is the partial red plastic lens as shown in the photo. The solid lends was then continued for a few years. I think until the radical styling change in 61.

You'd have to show me a picture b/c I think the rears were the same. ;D

In any event ...beautiful cars!

Yea, on inspection, you are right. The solid cover appears in 58-60. And, the sources for lenses call for the same lens for 56-57. I was no expert on this anyway, but I did have a 61 and I knew that call was not right on that as soon as I saw it. These were great cars. Too bad they are so expensive today. I had 5 Corvettes and wish I had every one of them back today. They would make a nice collection.

Well, you were right too! The initial call on the image being a ‘61 was off. I think I washed and waxed that *56 baby* often enough to at least recall that detail. :D

Fun cars. I too, would love to have all the two-seaters I have owned over the years. Ah life. They would have needed their own pit-crews to maintain them. Which is why I can live vicariously through the likes of Jay Leno.
