Description

Brighton Motorsports is please to present this First Generation, first year of full-production Chevrolet Corvette Roadster – one of only 300 made that was finished in Pennant Blue over tan interior and top.

America’s first sports car – the C1 Corvette was designed by Harley Earl and Ed Cole, and engineered by Zora Arkos Duntov. It was introduced for the 1953 model year in limited production.

The Corvette was named by Myron Scott after the Corvette ship of the same name, and regular production began with the 1954 model year and continued to 1963 with the introduction of the C2 model Sting Ray. C1 models are also noteworthy as being the only Corvette generation with a solid axle.

This fully-restored example is an exceptionally clean, correct, numbers-matching example, powered by the famous “Blue Flame” 150-horsewpower, 235-cu inch inline 6-cylinder engine with automatic Powerglide transmission. Everything works as it should – including the clock and the radio!
