From the front or rear, the 1959 Chevrolets resembled nothing else on the road. From the headlights, placed as low as the law would allow, to the cats-eye tail lights, the 1959 Chevrolet was a brand new car with all new sheet metal. The most visual new change was the flat, wing-shaped tailfins.[6]The car was built on a 119in (3,023mm)wheelbaseand was 211in (5,359mm) long-which was 11in (279mm) longer than the 1957 model. This made Chevrolet the longest car in the low-priced range, whereas two years before it had been the shortest. In addition, the car was 3in (76mm) wider outside and had 5in (127mm) more width inside than it did in 1958, through the reduction of door thickness. The frame GM X frame had no side rails.
