There's just something about a first-generation Corvette that makes
us all smile. The Corvette was the answer to veterans coming home
from Europe having experienced British roadsters in large numbers
and looking for a similar experience back home. Of course, we had
to outdo them. So, we took a lightweight fiberglass body and
stuffed a super potent V8 under the hood starting with the 1955
model year which would soon grow to 283C.I. in 1957. This stunning
1957 example's engine is fitted with the highly desirable dual
four-barrel carburetor option making 245hp, a massive amount more
power than the foreign roadsters it was competing against. The
engine is date code correct in line with the car's production date
and is 1 of only 2,045 built with that powertrain option. The
transmission backing it up is a fun 3-speed manual so you can enjoy
rowing through the gears yourself as you blast down your favorite
curvy roads. The exterior is finished in unique Cascade Green with
beige coves and is nicely accented by glimmering chromework and
white-wall tires. The interior sports beige vinyl bucket seats in
the classic Corvette "waffle" pattern, as well as the desirable
"Wonderbar" radio, and a reduced diameter steering wheel for added
comfort and driving ease that retains the original classic look.
