It is commonly referred to as the "solid-axle" generation, as the independent rear suspension did not appear until the 1963 Sting Ray.The Corvette was rushed into production for its debut model year to capitalize on the enthusiastic public reaction to the concept vehicle, but expectations for the new model were largely unfulfilled. Reviews were mixed and sales fell far short of expectations through the car's early years. The program was nearly canceled, but Chevrolet would ultimately stay the course. In an era of chrome and four headlamps, the Corvette adapted to the look of the day. The 1958 model year and the four that followed all had the exposed four-headlamp treatment and prominent grilles, but a faux-louvered hood and chrome trunk spears were unique to 1958. The interior and instruments were updated, including placing a tachometer directly in front of the driver. For the 1958 model, an 8,000-rpm tachometer was used with the 270 hp and 290 hp engines, rather than the 6000-rpm units used in the lower horsepower engines. Optional engine choices included two with twin carburetors and two with fuel injection. Power output for the highest rated fuel-injected engine was 290 hp. Displacement remained 283 CID. For the first time, seat belts were factory-installed rather than being dealer-installed as on previous models.
