America’s Sensational Sports Car!

Creating a sensation everywhere!  The new Chevrolet Corvette has been received with a storm of enthusiastic approval wherever it has been shown.

The racy new Corvette sets a new style for a new field-the American sports car.  Barely 33 inches high at door level, it has broad low lines and a road-hugging center of gravity.  The smoothly contoured glass-fiber body is surmounted by a rakish back-swept windshield.  A smart fabric top fold into a concealed compartment in the long rear deck just ahead of a commodious luggage locker.  The spacious two-place cockpit is beautifully styled and finished throughout in typical sports car tradition.

As for performance…it’s thrilling.  A 160 h.p., extra-high-compression  “Blue Flame” engine is teamed with the new Powerglide automatic transmission…a combination that makes the Corvette an outstanding performer on any road, under any condition.

This is a car, of which we can say with complete sincerity,

"You have to see it to believe it." The Corvette is scheduled for limited production during the last half of 1953.
