The reason is pre 1959 did not have a trunk lid but prior to 1958 they had a three piece rear window which the car in the photos appears to have a one piece glass. Also based on the taillight lenses it must be an late 58 as it has red lenses there was a mid year change from amber to red. I own four of these great little cars they are a blast to drive! I have a 54,57,58 and a 59.

The main body of the car is pre 1959 but newer than 1956 and it could have had the rear glass switched to a single piece window. I guess it is a Mutt of sorts but I wouldn't throw it out of my garage. I like the choice of paint colors.
