1959 Corvette Parts
The 1959 Corvette featured minimal changes to the previous year’s model — especially in terms of mechanics. The engine was a 283-cubic-inch, fuel-injected or carbureted V8 with multiple horsepower options available. Transmission options were also the same: three-speed manual (standard), four-speed manual, and two-speed Powerglide automatic.There were a few design changes, however. A new cockpit was designed to improve navigator comfort. It included a new instrument panel with concave instruments and a shelf under the dash.
All in all, these improvements helped make driving the 1959 Corvette more convenient and fun — which is why, once again, Corvette production numbers and sales rose significantly.
