This cool 1954 Chevrolet Corvette is for sale in our Louisville KY
showroom. When initially released in 1953 the Corvette was intended
to compete with the smaller European sports cars of that era.
Harley Earl developed the initial design which was sleek smaller 2
seat sports car that looked amazing and caught everyones attention,
but the price would seem to be a major setback. Having that said GM
would only sell 3640 units in 1954 making these extremely
collectible today. This particular beauty has been treated to an
extensive yearlong frame off restoration with pictures and receipts
included with the sale. Once completed the car was driven for about
600 miles. After which it had the distinguished honor of being
displayed at the Corvette museum in Bowling Green, KY for
enthusiasts to enjoy! The body was taken off and stripped down and
then painted back to its original white color which still looks
amazing today. With all of the chrome either replaced or brought
back to its original luster it's easy to see why so many caught the
Corvette bug. The frame was treated to the same process which not
only insured the structural integrity but gave the underneath a
fresh and clean look. The original, numbers matching, blue flame
six was cleaned up with the original 2 speed power glide given the
same treatment. With the engine and transmission back together,
they were placed back onto that freshly painted frame. With the
body completed it was dropped back onto the frame giving this 1954
Corvette its new lease on life. The red interior was the last step
with the red really popping against that white exterior. The tan
convertible top is in excellent shape and shows well but this car
was meant to be seen with the top down. Press the button between
the seats and place the top in the hidden storage area and the 1954
Corvette has the look of a true roadster. When it is all said and
done this Corvette is sure to make the next owner a very happy
person! Options on this 1954 Corvette include a Manual Convertible
Top, Leather Interior, AM Radio, Hubcaps and, Bias Ply White Wall
Tires. This 1954 Chevrolet Corvette is for sale in our Louisville
