Having made a big splash at GM’s 1953 Motorama, the Chevrolet Corvette was rushed to production by June 30th of that year. Arguably, however, the truly iconic Corvette arrived with the 1956 model. Restyled with a more flowing body, the car was given concave side coves finished in contrasting color. Roll-up side windows provided all-weather comfort and required exterior door handles. Development of the Corvette continued under legendary engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov.
This beautiful car has been restored and is one of 1958 Corvettes with a 283-cid V-8 engine that has two-four-barrel carburetors and is mated to a manual transmission. It is attractively presented in Regal Turquoise with Snowcrest White coves, white power-operated soft-top (which is new) and black interior. The car is further equipped with power windows, radio and whitewall tires with factory wheel covers.
