1955 CHEVROLET CORVETTE C1 SN 3238 CORVETTE'S FIRST V8 Introduced in 1953 the Chevrolet Corvette was destined to be one of the most Iconic cars ever produced, however it took two years for the Corvette to be matched with a V8 engine. This C1 is one of 700 Corvettes to be built in 1955, the Very First Year of the Production V8, the '55 C1's are also the Last of the Original Body Shape, with large single headlights, and without the two tone side covers, placing this to be one of the Most Significant Corvettes in their 62 year history. This Right Hand Drive car is largely original & the casting on the block shows the number to be correct for 1955. With a claimed 0-60mph time of 8.1 sec, a Quarter mile time of 16.6 sec & the top speed of 120mph in 1955 this really was a popular speed machine for returning Marines & has put the 1955 Chevrolet Corvette as one of the most desirable cars out of that period.
