1953-55 Corvette Roadster
If you’re a fan of white cars with red interiors, look no further than the first-year Corvette. A Polo White exterior and Sportsman Red interior were all that was available for the ‘53 Vette, along with a “Blue Flame” six-cylinder engine.
While some insist the Corvette didn’t reach “maturity” until the introduction of the Stingray in the 1960s, there’s no disputing that Chevrolet was on the forefront of the sporty car movement in America when it introduced this two-seater.
Despite its much-criticized plastic body and less than flattering performance, the Corvette set in motion a revolution in terms of how Americans thought about automobiles made in the USA. –Larry Sanata
