This 1955 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a 265ci V8
engine paired with a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. The
265ci V8 was the first V8 engine offered in a Corvette, marking a
major milestone in Chevrolet's performance history. The exterior is
finished in Gypsy Red complemented by a tan soft-top and whitewall
tires. New parts include chrome trim, generator, valve cover
gaskets and a brake master cylinder. The dual exhaust system
delivers a distinct sound characteristic of early Corvettes. The
interior is trimmed in tan leather and features bucket seats, a
dash-mounted tachometer, two-spoke steering wheel and push-button
radio. Signature Corvette badging and brightwork complete its
classic appearance. This example presents as a well-maintained
representation of the first V8-powered Corvette. **TITLE IN
