Information"The Chevrolet Corvette, known colloquially as the Vette
or Chevy Corvette, is a sports car manufactured by Chevrolet. The
car has been produced through seven generations. The first model, a
convertible, was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept
show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type
of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette. Originally built
in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, since 1981, the
Corvette has been manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is
the official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. While
always being an automobile known for speed and performance
throughout its history, the Corvette has evolved throughout the
generations into becoming the widely regardedalthough never
officially declaredflagship model of the Chevrolet car brand.""The
first generation of Corvette was introduced late in the 1953 model
year. Originally designed as a show car for the 1953 Motorama
display at the New York Auto Show, it generated enough interest to
induce GM to make a production version to sell to the public. First
production was on June 30, 1953.""The 1958 Corvette received a body
and interior freshening which included a longer front end with quad
headlamps, bumper exiting exhaust tips, a new steering wheel, and a
dashboard with all gauges mounted directly in front of the driver.
Exclusive to the 1958 model were hood louvers and twin trunk
spears."American Dream Machines
