About Chevrolet Corvette
Corvette’s first generation was introduced late in the 1953 model year. It debuted as a show car at the 1953 General Motors Motorama, which took place from January 17 to 23 at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Chevrolet General Manager Thomas H. Keating stated at the time that production readiness was six months to a year away. The car sparked enough interest that mass production began on June 30, 1953.
The 1953 Chevrolet Corvette was on display at the GM Motorama car show in 1953.
Corvette was distinguished by its hand-laid-up fiberglass body. This generation was known as “solid-axle” models, with independent rear suspension appearing in the following. For the 1953 model year, three hundred hand-built Corvette convertibles were built in Polo White.
The 1954 model year vehicles were available in Pennant Blue, Sportsman Red, Black, or Polo White, and only 3,640 were built and sold.
Only the 1953, 1954, and 1955 model years had a 235 cu in (3.9 L) version of the second-generation Blue Flame inline-six rated at 150 hp (112 kW; 152 PS).
A 265 cu in (4.34 L) V8 engine was available as an option on the 1955 model. Despite the Corvette’s poor sales at the time, the brand new V-8 was a wildly popular option. The inline-six engine was used in only six of the 1955 models. Due to a large inventory of unsold 1954 models, GM limited 1955 production to 700 units. With the new V8, the 0-60 mph time improved by 1.5 seconds, and three new competitors were introduced that year: the Ford Thunderbird, the Studebaker Speedster, and the larger Chrysler C-300.
The 1956 model received a new body with a new “face” and side coves, as well as the removal of the taillamp fins. In the middle of the 1957 model year, an optional “Ramjet” fuel injection system became available. It was one of the first American mass-produced engines to achieve 1 hp (0.75 kW) per cubic inch (16.4 cubic cm), and Chevrolet’s advertising agency advertised the 283 hp (211 kW) 283 cu in (4.64 L) Small-Block engine with a “one hp per cubic inch” slogan. Power windows (1956), a hydraulically operated power convertible top (1956), heavy duty brakes and suspension (1957), and a four-speed manual transmission were also available (late 1957). Delco Radio transistorized signal-seeking “hybrid” car radio circuitry, which used both vacuum tubes and transistors (1956 option).
The 1958 Corvette received a facelift that included a longer front end with quad headlamps, bumper exiting exhaust tips, a new steering wheel, and a dashboard with all gauges mounted directly in front of the driver. Hood louvers and twin trunk spears were only available for 1958. The 1959-60 model years saw few changes, with the exception of less body chrome and more powerful engine options.
