Straight Axle Years
I’m proud to present and amazing film from GM about the FIRST AMERICAN SPORTS CAR to be mass produced. This car hit it out of the park in 53… It was introduced late in the 1953 model year and produced through 1962.

Rare home movies chronicle the first Corvettes going into production. Each one is built by hand at the GM factory in Flint, Michigan. Only 300 Corvettes were built that first year. All 1953 Corvettes were white with a red interior, all had Powerglide automatic transmissions mated to 150 HP, six cylinder engines with three carburetors and dual exhaust. Of those 300, 255 survived. Source: http://www.corvettemuseum.org/library…
Corey Peterson brought his 1953 Corvette VIN 001 to Bloomington Gold 2024 and did a Question and Answer session about the car. Documentation from the GM Archives shows that the VIN 001 and VIN 002 cars were used for further engineering updates. Further examination of the long lost Corvette shows the documented updates that were performed on them.

Paul Stenquist 13 June 2023 Share In the mid-20th century, fuel injection was still largely the stuff of fantasies.

Car-loving performance enthusiasts drooled, and the Beach Boys sang about a “fuel-injected engine sittin’ under my hood.” It was automotive culture shock. We were accustomed to seeing that technology on race cars, but fuel-injected cars that you and...

His first job was pumping gas at a Sunoco station in Massapequa, New York, and he went from there to working as a mechanic. Castaldo began accumulating a collection of fast...
