Description
- Virtually untouched original condition - 40 years in original ownership - Traceable ownership history Features: 2-speed Powerglide automatic Whitewall tyres Metallic paint Cassette radio Plug-in window with storage bag Soft top Description: The first generation of the Chevrolet Corvette - known internally as the C1 - was introduced in 1953 and marked the start of America's most famous sports car. With its fibreglass-reinforced body, chrome details and characteristic radiator grille, it set new standards in design. The in-line six-cylinder engine with 150 hp ensured solid driving performance. Only 3, 640 vehicles were built in 1954, making this early model particularly desirable. The C1 is therefore not only a style-defining model, but also a coveted collector's item with a growing value. About the vehicle: This 1954 Corvette C1 is in virtually untouched original condition. The original paintwork has only been preserved with clear lacquer in order to preserve the substance. According to documents, the vehicle was first owned by a lady from Ohio until 1993, after which it was on display in a German collection for over 10 years. An article by Frank Sander aptly describes it as "Pretty awesome arse, with details that can no longer be found anywhere today." A real rarity in a tasteful colour combination and in authentic "time warp" condition.
