The Chevrolet Corvette was officially born on June 30, 1953, when the first production model rolled off a special Flint, Michigan, assembly line. It featured a novel fiberglass body and was powered by a modified 150 horsepower 'Blue Flame Six' with triple carburetors, higher compression, solid lifters, and a high-lift camshaft. At a base price of $3,513, a total of 315 were made in 1953, all in Polo White with red interiors. Despite a shaky start, the dream car returned as part of Chevrolet's lineup for 1954. Prices increased by $10 and the factory moved to St. Louis, Missouri in December 1953. Production increased significantly to 3,640 units, yet 1,076 remained unsold by the end of the model year.
This car is $2,390 of the 3,640 produced in 1954.
