Do you think this is one of the cars that influenced the flat colors on cars?
Lets head over to Stan's for a coffee and maybe a donut or two...
Lol. Jim Beam straight out of the bottle. Today that picture would be three guys wearing tight pants, sporting a man bun, drinking a white wine spritzer......
Fuel Injection Stacks. Seem to recall, and of course could be wrong, but they used long injector stacks on automatic cars short stacks on manuals. Sign Corvette Fun Field, must be in the back of Rruuff Day's place. 
What is old is new again...Like to know more about this one
Switching to a corporate brother just for Day Light Savings Time...Did not know Pontiac was the "Pace" car for the 58 Indy 500
Top down cruising...it will happen soon guys
Reminds me of that old joke "couldn't fix your brakes so I made your horn louder"...a few 58's in this group of misery...
Did you know that General Motors had a division that created tricky and interesting stuff, it was known as the CTIS Division and later went on to develop interesting things such as the Corvair, Pontiac Aztec, Chevrolet Citation, Pontiac Fierro and others. It is rumoured they provided assistance to Ford on the Pinto design but that is unsubstantiated.
CTIS's only known involvement in the Corvette brand was their suggestion to mount the "wet" lead acid battery in the engine compartment right above the very expensive and sadly obsolete electronics which as we know run the entire car.
In the 50's they worked on hiding gas fillers and here is just a few of them.
55 Chevrolet
56 Chevrolet
57 Chevrolet
And of course the 58 Chevrolet
A few other General Motors hidden gems.
So there you go a short history of the GM CTIS Division.
