I have not advertised the car anywhere except here so it has gotten limited exposure.

I think he meant it has chromed ones. I have no idea where the changeover point was. Either way they look cool and this is just a really lovely car. I would find it quite difficult to part with a car like this, I am not surprised he hasn't put it for sale elsewhere.

From the NCRS 1956-1957 Judging Manual
Very early 1956 Corvettes to approximately serial 1360 have chrome headlamp bezels over-painted exterior body color. From serial number 1360 to approximately 1600, headlamp bezels may be either painted or unpainted chrome in matching sets. Remainder of 1956 production through 1957 use chrome bezels exclusively."
Remember that the first 1956 corvette has a VIN of E56S001001, so the first 360 or so cars have painted headlight rings, then a mix for approximately 361 to 600, the chrome after 600.
