They made lots of Cobras
If that's the case then wouldn't it stand to reason that the 55, 56, 57, were also only 1 year productions?
No. They are completely different body styles just like the 59 and 60 are different.
OP
Made for a span of 1 year but sold as two model years. My dad had a 61 Starliner.
OP
You probably should have said "model years" or "one-year only body styles". The question is actually quite vague, when you look at it. For example, I thought you meant car companies, to which I responded with Tucker. A '58 Chevy? It's an X-frame platform, same as its siblings through 1964. In short, I guess I'm not understanding the question.
OP
I'm confused by this statement, Chief. It seems contradictory (no offense intended, App...)
They made them for less than a year but that spanned two model years.
OP
I must not be getting it either. I have a problem with calling a '58 Chevy a "one-year-only" car. Sure, the '58 is one-year-only in certain aspects, so is my '65 Chrysler, '64 Impalas, and most other pre '70s cars.
A local Ford guy had one for a few years. I went to school with his daughter who ran the car through a garage wall. The clutch was a little heavier than the one in her GT. He sold it before I had the '03 Cobra or else we would have run 'em.
OP
Technically, every car is a one-year-only car. A '53 Ford is the only year a '53 Ford was sold as a '53 Ford, for example. The year before, they were '52 Fords. The year after, they were '54 Fords.
I'm not trying to be a dick, though I'm pretty sure I'm sounding like one at this point, but the whole "one year only" thing has always bugged me. Like I said, I can't think of anything else besides the Tucker. It was sold as a model year 1948 vehicle. None before 1948, and none after 1948.
