This 1959 Corvette Factory Assembly Manual is absolutely a must-have for the restorer, fabricator or anyone interested in working on the 1959 Chevrolet Corvette. This manual is a licensed factory reprint, originally published by the Chevrolet Motor's Division of General Motors Corporation.
The 1959 Corvette is one of my all time favorite Vettes. According to OLD-CORVETTE.com, only 9,670 1959 Corvettes were produced and the average purchase price was $3,875.00. That is amazing!! You may want to checkout the OLD-CORVETTE.com website if you are a Corvette enthusiast. It's a great resource for Corvette part information and photos for 1953-1967 Corvettes.
The 1959 Corvette Factory Assembly Manual is full of diagrams that were originally drawn by Chevy engineers to convey to the Assembly Line workers exactly how and what parts to use to put together every component of the 1959 Corvette.
Obviously, the original intent of this manual back in 1959 was not to help the restorer or fabricator of the 1959 Corvette; however, that's exactly what this manual is used for today.
The diagrams within this manual show exploded views of component assembly instructions along with actual part numbers, measurements, weld locations, torque specifications, revisions, redesigns and more.
