58 or 59 hood?

I have a 59 and picked up an original hood that I fixed and dipped before powder coat epoxy.
I'm not sure if the holes are for a 58 hood emblem of 59? Or are the holes the same for both years? I don't have a hood emblem yet so I have nothing to reference.

Looks like 1959 to me.

Good! Thanks CMACDONALD1. Was hoping it was a 59 for the emblem holes.
Also looking for a good 1959 V8 hood emblem...

Re: 58 or 59 hood?

Re: 58 or 59 hood?

Is there a gasket between the emblem and the hood on the 59? Also what about the side spears?

No Gasket on the Hood or side emblems, The V-8 emblems i think are pretty cool and a little hard to find, was very lucky to have a Forum member sell me one at a decent price!

Good luck with you Build!
