Corvette: The American

Dream Machine

In the early ’50s, it was only a designer’s dream. Today

the Corvette stands alone as America’s dream car -- a

testament to its unmistakable charisma and the

excitement it inspires. Unique styling, powerful

performance and an undeniable panache have made

Corvette one of the most celebrated sports cars in

the world.

In 1953, Corvette produced 300 new lightweight

fiberglass roadsters. A handful went to project

engineers, General Motors managers, and a select group

of movie stars and celebrities. With a two-speed

Powerglide automatic transmission, Blue Flame

six-cylinder engine, and gleaming Polo White exterior,

the Corvette began its drive into the heart of America.

Designers freshened up the ’Vette in 1956 by adding a

removable hardtop and the famous Corvette “coves.”

The sculptured body enhanced its sporty look, and a

standard 210-horsepower Chevy V8 engine solidified

Corvette’s reputation as a production race car.

viii

In 1963, Corvette hit the road with an eye-catching new

look -- the Sting Ray coupe. An instant success, the

now-classic Sting Ray featured concealed headlamps

and a unique split rear window. The split window would

only be offered in 1963, making this model among the

most prized Corvettes ever built.

Restyled inside and out for 1968, this ’Vette sported a

lean and hungry shape, creating a sense of motion even

when standing still. And for the first time, Corvette

offered removable roof panels.
