Location: So. Cal | I don't think that is true. They are made in Finland, and they are mostly correct for '57-'59 The '57 extends across the full width of the car, but the '58-'59 don't. The parts are made like the '58-'59, but can work well for '57 if you splice it in. Are there other differences between '58 and '59 that I am not aware of?

Location: Hay Lakes, Alberta, Canada | Sorry, I stand corrected- FINland.
I think he is referring to the center brace, the one directly below the floor pan the front seat sits on. The 57-58 center braces were different from the '59 braces. The '59 brace is the one being reproduced.
Here is a picture of the brace I made:
