The Chevrolet Corvette, colloquially known as the 'Vette, is a two-door, two-passenger sports car manufactured and marketed by Chevrolet across more than 60 years of production and eight design generations.
From 1953 to 2019, it was front-engine, and since 2020, it is mid-engine.
With its generations noted sequentially from C1 to C8, the Corvette serves as Chevrolet's halo vehicle and is widely noted for its performance and distinctive plastic-either fiberglass or composite-bodywork.
In 1953, when GM executives were looking to name the new Chevrolet sports car, assistant director for the Public Relations department Myron Scott suggested Corvette after the small maneuverable warship-and the name was approved.
The first model, a convertible, was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept and was followed ten years later by the 1963 second generation, in coupe and convertible styles.
Originally manufactured in Flint, Michigan and St.
Louis, Missouri, the Corvette has been manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky since 1981.
The Corvette has since become widely known as America's Sports Car.
Automotive News wrote that after 'starring' in the early 1960s television show Route 66, the Corvette became synonymous with freedom and adventure, ultimately becoming both the most successful concept car in history and the most popular sports car in history.
The first generation of Corvette was introduced late in the 1953 model year.
It first appeared as a show car for the 1953 General Motors Motorama, held January 17-23 at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
At the time, Chevrolet general manager Thomas H.
Keating said it was six months to a year away from production readiness.
The car generated enough interest to induce GM to make a production version to sell to the public.
First production was on June 30, 1953.
The 1954 model year vehicles could be ordered in Pennant Blue, Sportsman Red, Black, or Polo White; 3,640 were built, and sold slowly.
The 1953, 1954, and 1955 model years were the only Corvettes equipped with a 235 cu in (3.
9 L) version of the second- generation Blue Flame inline-six rated at 150HP The 1955 model offered a 265 cu in (4.
34 L) V8 engine as an option.
Despite the poor sales of the Corvette at the time, the brand new V-8 was an overwhelmingly popular option.
Only 6 of the 1955 models were produced with the inline-six.
With a large inventory of unsold 1954 models, GM limited production to 700 for 1955.
With the new V8, the 0-60 mph time improved by 1.
5 seconds and saw two new competitors called the Ford Thunderbird and the Studebaker Speedster introduced that same year.
