1957 Chevrolet Corvette C1 Navigation
Chevrolet decided there was no need to change the handsome styling of the 1957 Vette, but they upped the performance by boring the V-8 to 283 cubic inch. This came in five versions offering 220 bhp up to an amazing 283 bhp, the latter courtesy of new 'Ramjet' fuel injection. This car came equipped with a T-10 Warner four-speed transmission and posi-traction rear axle. The four-speed manual transmission arrived in May at $188 extra, and combined with axle ratios as low as 4.11:1 to make 'fuelie' 1957s thunderingly fast.
Chevy also offered a $725 'heavy-duty racing suspension.' Couple this with the new high-powered engine, and a 1957 Vette was virtually ready to race off the showroom floor.
This car, built on July 12, 1957, came with one other option, whitewall tires. It was sold new in California and has won a CCI Platinum Award and an NCRS Top Flite Award.
