I958 was another year for a design change for Chevrolet. In order to understand why, you need to remember that the design stage for the production models starts years before. In the case of the '58 Chevy it started in Chevrolet's banner sales year of 1955. Here's a cut-a-way view of the 1958 to show you some of the design features found on this vehicle.

As I stated the design for the 1958 Chevrolet was influenced by earlier GM Motoramas and below is a photo with the 1956 "Impala" show car shown below.
