I have an opportunity to buy a door for my '59, but the person is unsure of the year. Are the '56-'62 doors the same (structurally)? Or, could anyone measure their '58-'60 door and send me the measurements? We 'Vette owners gotta help each other out 8^]

Thanks,

For your '59 you need a '59 or '60 door. The door handle on the inside is located differently on a '58 and your '59 door panels won't work. If the inside handle is in the same place as your original door it should be a '59-'60 door.

Here's a picture

Notice that the handle is almost on a level plane with the lock knob in the attachment.
