57, 58, 59, and 61 Chevys, all designed and put into mass production without computers. A feat that should be considered the 8th wonder of the world IMO
For sake of completeness, a 1960 Chevy which shares roofline & dashboard with 1959, but is still a major design and retooling change.
BTW, the 1960 Chevy would've been in design phase in 1958, a recession year, which is probably why the changes 59-60 were relatively modest compared to the other model year transitions.
They actually do serve kind of a technical purpose - people weren't quite used to driving the long low hoodline cars, and those doohickies helped spot lane position.
maybe the reason it's so hard for young idiots to find jobs in journalism is because it's apparently impossible for the old idiots to be fired

Today's episode of #DavesCarIDService is dedicated to the men and machines of the D-Day Invasion. All gave some, some gave all.
*The fallen machine is of course an iconic WW2 Jeep, either a Willys MB or identical twin Ford GPW. Almost 650,000 of these were produced 1942-45. The earlier Ford GP model is where the "Jeep" got its affectionate nickname which later became its brand.
In addition to our regular fare, today's thread will feature some IDs relevant to the liberation of Europe. If you've got family pics of WW2 GIs & their cars, they will get prompt attention.
Just one more #DavesCarIDService question sir. You see I got a captain who's a stickler for details, and there's one thing that's bothering me. Does the lighter work?
*Unlike his sports car and muscle car driving 1970s TV detective colleagues, the endearingly frumpy and quirky Lt Columbo drove an equally endearingly frumpy and quirky 1959 Peugeot 403 cabriolet.
Before proceeding to today's IDs, please read and agree to our Terms of Service:
Vintage family hot rod photos like this always catch my eye, and this is a fun twofer. Inside the garage is a 1930-31 Ford A coupe with bobbed fenders & 46-48 Chevy taillights; the fiberglass kit body shell is a Kellison J5R.
