1953 C1 Corvette
The first Chevy Corvette made its debut at the 1953 General Motors Motorama show, held at New York City's Waldorf Astoria hotel. The first production Corvette was built on June 30, 1953, in Flint, Michigan. Only 300 were built – virtually by hand and all on a pilot line. This first year Corvette was available only in polo white with red bucket seat interior trim.

The first-generation Corvette featured a 150 horsepower 6-cylinder engine with a three-speed manual transmission and optional two-tone paint. The exterior was relatively plain, but it did have chrome headlight rims and steel wheels with the signature crossed flag center caps. It also had a short fiberglass rear bumper that extended to just below the side cove.

About Corvette
The Corvette is a highly regarded car that GM has been manufacturing in Bowling Green, Kentucky for more than 30 years. The Corvette, known as America's sports car, is a remarkable example of innovation. Constant generation over the past 60 years means the Corvette is the world's longest-running passenger car unit. From its beginning, the Corvette was predestined to become iconic.

The Chevrolet Corvette is a two-door luxury sports vehicle that has been manufactured and sold by Chevrolet since 1953. It is known for its performance, as well as its distinct fiberglass or composite panels. Until 2019, the engine was in the front of the vehicle, but it has since moved to mid-engine.

The Corvette is Chevrolet's halo automobile and the only two-seat sports car manufactured by a major United States automobile manufacturer.

Zora Arkus-Duntov was a Belgian-American engineer referred to as the “Father of Corvette” for his work on Corvette. The principal convertible car was publicly announced in 1953 at the GM Motorama event. Select public consumers were able to acquire it later that year.

In 1963, the second-generation Corvette was introduced as a coupe and convertible. It was originally produced in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri until its production transferred to Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1981.

The Corvette has come to represent America, known colloquially as "America's sports car." Automotive News said that, after being highlighted in the early 1960s TV show Route 66, the Corvette became synonymous with terms like freedom and adventure. It is now frequently regarded to be both the most popular concept car ever made and the most prominent sports car globally.
