Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 25th year in the
classic and muscle car business. Speaking of celebrations, this
year Chevrolet is celebrating the Corvette's 70th birthday and its
rolling record as the world's longest continually produced sports
car. It is absolutely amazing to me that the 'Vette has survived,
and in fact flourished, since the early days of the Eisenhower
administration! Virtually identical to the 1953 model, this
outstanding 1954 is a fascinating example of where it all began.
Constantly evolving, it's sobering to realize that today's Corvette
has over 3 times the power and 4 times as many gears as this 1954!
Lift the hood of this jewel and you'll see the numbers matching
(BCN 3835911, BCD 3/4/54, EC F54YG) 235 I6 with the wild 3x1 bbl
setup. Many younger enthusiasts are stunned to discover that this
was the Corvette's very first engine, with the legendary small
block arriving in 1955. Additional features include the automatic
transmission, Wonderbar radio, and 6.70-15 wide whitewall tires
mounted on correct wheels with correct covers. This gem appears to
be largely original, with the exceptions of a repainted hood and
consumables (tires, battery, etc.). After years of sitting in
various collections, we decided to have the engine freshened. The
builder exclaimed that there was virtually no visible wear inside
the engine, indicating very low mileage. The remaining paint has
visible crazing, again indicating originality. This important piece
of automotive history runs and drives beautifully and attracts
attention like Lady Godiva! Ray-Bans and sunscreen not included.
One more killer Corvette from the Texas Hill Country's premier
source for classic 'Vettes and the team that can make your dream a
reality. Street Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full service dealership
