I would guess a 58-61.  It maybe a 55-57 depending on the type of round 
taillights and the type of bumpers, engine etc.  The date code on the 
back of the speedo is a good clue if you can get to it.  8-)  Other date 
codes help too if it hasn't been messed with much--wheels are an easy one 
(they're enclosed in a little circle by the lug nuts).
