car of this caliberWikipedia Information"The Chevrolet Corvette,
known colloquially as the Vette or Chevy Corvette, is a sports car
manufactured by Chevrolet. The car has been produced through seven
generations. The first model, a convertible, was introduced at the
GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited
for naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable warship
called a corvette. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St.
Louis, Missouri, since 1981, the Corvette has been manufactured in
Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. While always being an automobile known
for speed and performance throughout its history, the Corvette has
evolved throughout the generations into becoming the widely
regardedalthough never officially declaredflagship model of the
Chevrolet car brand.""The first generation of Corvette was
introduced late in the 1953 model year. Originally designed as a
show car for the 1953 Motorama display at the New York Auto Show,
it generated enough interest to induce GM to make a production
version to sell to the public. First production was on June 30,
1953.""A new body was introduced for the 1956 model featuring a new
"face" and side coves; the taillamp fins were also gone. An
optional "Ramjet" fuel injection system was made available in the
middle of the 1957 model year. It was one of the first
mass-produced engines in history to reach 1
bhp (0.75
kW) per cubic inch (16.4 cubic cm) and Chevrolet's advertising
agency used a "one hp per cubic inch" slogan for advertising the
283
