Yeah, they had planned to use the 58 Chevy and Pontiac bodies for 2 years but that spooked them so much that they came out with another brand new body in 59. The 1958 Chevy and Pontiacs are a one year only style.

In hindsight, they may have done better using the original plan. Both Ford and Chrysler stayed with their old bodies for one more year although both were heavily facelifted in all brands. The 59 Chevy would have sold a lot better with different fins and grill as the 1960 proved when they took over the #1 spot again.
