This 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster was the 10th example of 3640 produced in 1954, two owners since new, and has been driven only 13,461 miles. It is very original and in excellent condition. A fresh coat of paint has been given to the car at some point during its life.
There are several interesting features of this car that distinguish it as an early model vehicle. It has the earlier dual hood latch system which was soon eliminated after 300 or so cars, and it has the first version of the convertible top irons.
In 2008, the car was brought to the Hilton Head Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by the Worldwide Auctioneers. It was estimated to sell for $115,000 - $135,000. Those estimates were proven accurate as the lot was sold for a high bid of $92,400, including the buyer's premium.
