1961 Chevy Corvette
Upon initial launch in 1953, the early C1 Corvette was well-loved by its owners, but misunderstood by many sports car enthusiasts. Even though initial sales were lackluster, Chevrolet knew that they had a potent recipe on their hands. In 1955 Chevrolet answered the calls from critics and consumers by introducing an optional V8. With that, an American icon was born. The first-generation 'Vette went through many styling and mechanical updates throughout its production cycle. Most iconic was the quintessential quad-headlight design introduced in 1958. Engines and transmissions were upgraded over the years to include high-output options and manual transmissions. By 1962, Chevrolet had turned the Corvette from a poor seller to one of the most iconic vehicles in American history of all time.
This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is a wonderful example that has been exceptionally cared for over the last 60 years. It is finished in a classy Ermine White exterior with Sateen Silver coves, and a red interior. A white hardtop comes to boot as well as a newer black soft top. Equipped with AC, a 4 speed manual, a replacement 283ci V8, and a new Custom Autosound radio. This Corvette is an excellent turn-key driver, awaiting its next road trip or car show ahead.
