Looking at it again, I think Marlowe's right. I've had two 1960's but never a '58 or '59 but I remember the '58 had the seat panels divided into 4 squares so I do believe that this is a '59.

WRONG, 60's had the 4 sq pattern, 58 &59 both use ribbed Tuck & Roll style crosswise. I consulted the Master, Danbury Mint they make the little miniatures we all play with. 58 both Blue Cv & Silver/Black Hardtop as well as the Yellow 59 Convertible and the tan along with the white use the same pattern (1 inch Tuck & Roll Crosswise)so it could be either 58 or 59. I chose 58 due to color. My Green 60 CV and Red Hdtp both are the 4 sq pattern The car is Definately a Square Bird, 1958, 1959 & 1960. The seat style changes in 1961 with the New Body.
