Stainless steel moldings trimmed the hood and body belt line and standard equipment included a 30-hour clock, front door armrests, a right-hand windshield wiper, twin air horns, and a deluxe steering wheel with horn ring. The convertible had a full-width rear seat and power-operated top and a choice of different colors of upholstery and convertible tops were offered for the first time by Chevrolet. Interiors were richly appointed in a cloth fabric and with leather in the convertible with thick seat padding for extra comfort. A two-tone woodgrain instrument panel surrounded an arched speedometer and auxiliary gauges while a clock graced the glovebox door and a chromed radio grille was positioned in the center. New to the Chevrolet line was plastic instrument knobs.
