Vehicle Description
CMC is proud to present this 1955 Chevrolet Corvette, a remarkable
example of the iconic C1 generation, being the 455th of only 700
produced for the model year. Having been in the possession of a
single owner for nearly 40 years, it underwent a cosmetic and
mechanical refurbishment in the mid-1990s and even competed in the
2001 Great Race rally from Atlanta to Pasadena. Finished in the
classic Polo White with a red vinyl interior, this Corvette
combines timeless style with a rich history.
Under the hood, it's powered by the legendary 265ci V8 engine,
which was the first V8 offered in the Corvette, producing 195
horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The engine has been rebuilt,
and the carburetor was refreshed in January 2025. Mated to a
two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, the car provides
smooth and reliable power to the rear wheels.
The exterior features a replacement black soft top, a curved
windshield, and clip-on side curtains with Plexi-glass windows. A
chrome grille, wire mesh headlight guards, and a three-piece rear
bumper highlight its stylish design, while dual exhaust outlets
exit through the rear valance. The car rides on red-finished 15"
steel wheels with faux knock-off spinners, fitted with G78-15 Coker
Classic tires.
Inside, the cabin is adorned with red upholstery. The dashboard
includes a dash-mounted rear-view mirror, analog clock, and lap
belts, while the two-spoke steering wheel and 140-mph speedometer
offer a classic, driver-focused experience. The five-digit odometer
shows just 83,000 miles, reflecting its well-preserved state.
This Corvette is equipped with independent front suspension,
hydraulic shocks, and four-wheel drum brakes, offering a vintage
driving experience. It's also accompanied by 2001 Great Race
memorabilia, making it a unique piece of automotive history.
Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts, this 1955 Chevrolet
Corvette represents a rare and memorable era in American automotive
engineering.
