One of the 1958 Corvette’s touted features was a bank of “real instruments” and sure enough the dash was redesigned that year to place the dials front and center before the driver rather than strewn willy-nilly. Add to that an available fuel injected V8 and the Corvette was well on its way from cruiser to bruiser.

Corvette buyers’ response after the switch was difficult to gauge, but certain indicators allowed GM to dial in the arrangement of the dash.
They tried a focus group but the panel turned out to be a real cluster…
That’s a tach-y thing to say. They were instrumental.
No, from what I heard on the horn they got on the clock but then keyed in on it as a temp gig and choked.
I’m gauging by your response, you had to dash out of the room to look in the mirror to see if the leading indicators were still cluster-ed in the Control Tower.
I think you’re just needling the other commenters, revving them up and fueling their displeasure, hoping to find some indicator that they’ll rollover and switch their tune. I haven’t seen knobbish behavior on such a sweeping scale in some time.
Blinks What did you just say?
So that’s what the mirrors on a Corvette are for.
And they say Miatas are girl’s cars.
