Those old corvettes are eternal. Their lines are classic. Anybody who's owned one will gladly tell you how glorious it is to cruise with the top down on a spectacular Summer/s day in that baby! I was lucky enough to do just that in a spectacular beauty!

This white 1954 Corvette Convertible had my heart! It drove smooth...like new. It could absolutely be a daily cruiser!

Taking all that into account, I gotta say, I'm enjoying the last rays of summer driving this beauty around...:)

Now some of us really know our stuff, and others "not so much". For those of you that aren't familiar with the term "C1" when it comes to Chevrolet Corvettes, The C1 was the first generation of the corvette. It was introduced in late 1953 and continued in production until 1962. It was well known for having a "solid axle"/ Independent suspensions didn't appear until the 1963 Sting Ray. The Corvette was actually created as a "concept vehicle" - a vehicle of the future because it's lines were so different from the current models in use during that time.
After the car's debut in New York, Chevrolet had struggled to complete 300 largely hand-built '53 Corvettes in a temporary production facility in Flint, Michigan. By December 1953, a newly renovated assembly plant in St. Louis was ready. By June of 1954, the St. Louis factory was turning out 50 Corvettes a day.
