Offered in six colour options, only 3467 Corvettes were produced in
1956. Venetian Red was the most popular colour of the six with 30%
rolling off the production line.
1956 marked the First Major Facelift for the 1st Generation (C1)
Chevrolet Corvette. Visual design elements that transformed the
Facelift include: an Elliptical Concave section at the Rear of the
Lower Bodysides that was swept back from the Front Wheel Wells;
known as Coves, Faux Vent Scoops atop of the Front Fenders, &
Forward Headlights without the Headlight Screens. The 1953-1955
Fenders & Jet-Pod Tail Lamps were minimized to more attractive
French Curves contoured to match the Rear Deck curvature. New
Taillights were neatly added above a Vertical Bumperette on each
Fender. The Trunklid Shadow Box was discarded & the License Plate
was moved below the Trunk opening. In all, the result was a smooth,
gently curved Backend with slightly protruding Fenders.
New 56 features included: Roll-up Glass Windows replacing the Side
Curtains & Power Windows was now an Option, Outside Door Handles,
Tighter Fit Convertible Top with Power Option also offered in White
or Beige as a choice, new Optional Factory Hardtop with Stand
improved visibility over the Soft Top. The Mouth Grille & Iconic
Wheel-Knockoff Hub Covers remained from previous the years.
New to the Interior was Spring-Stroke Steering Wheel,
Waffle-Pattern Upholstery & revised Door Panels to go with the
Wind-Up Windows, the Shifter was moved to the Top of the
Transmission Hump, the Heater was changed from a recirculating
variety to a new Fresh Air version. A Transistorized Signal-Seek
Radio was also offered as an Option, & Seatbelts were also offered
for the first time as a dealer installed Accessory Kit. The Stylish
Twin Cowl Dashboard & Full Width Instrument Panel was carried
over.
From a Performance base, the New Small Block V8 that had made its
first appearance in the 1955 Corvette as an Option was now standard
for 1956 Model containing more muscle than ever before. The Blue
Flame Six Cylinder was gone for good.
All these features & designs shaped Corvette into a Genuine Sports
Performance Car with Smart new Styling & full complement of Options
& Amenities for its time.
This Corvette is a showpiece that can be enjoyed in any car
collection & will stand up to other Corvettes from its Era.
