Re: diff. between 59 60

Seat and door panel patterns, Trim around the radio speaker on '69, not on '59, differences in Fuel injection systems if equipped, I believe the rear sway bar was a '60 piece, not '59 but I'd have to check the AIM on that one.

A couple more are the door end caps. 59 smooth with screw & 60 raised inner edge with screw. 59 shifter knob and door release wher white 60's were black.
59 dash end caps where a flat stainless steel piece while 60's where a painted cap.

One more for you....

The wheels on a 59 were painted black. The wheels on a 60 were painted body color.

Re: Hood is different too.

Did you guys miss the most obvious seat pattern of vertical pleats vs horizontal? That's the one I always look for. Easy to spot!
