There were few changes for the 1959 model year Corvette; perhaps GM figured people still needed time to absorb the 1958 styling.
The styling was toned down a notch as the faux louvres disappeared from the hood (above) and (below) the trunk "spears" were gone.

1959 is best
I think 1959 is the best looking Corvette ever. It was a big improvement when they deleted the chrome on the trunk and the hood louvers.
