Take a look at a Corvette Central parts catalog. There are differences in the "arms" that connect the front bow (the one that fits to the windshield frame) to the rest of the frame on each side... 56-58 use one arm, 59 & 60 use another; price is about $150 for each arm (L or R). It appears that's the only difference. I think I've heard that either style will work with any year, but I may be thinking of hardtops
