Old Corvette Parts

Chevrolet has been making cars for almost a century and for many of those years
it has been the best selling car in the world. The Corvette, the true American
sports car, was introduced in 1953 with the production of 1st fiberglass Corvette.
All 316 of the 1953 Corvettes produced were hand built, featured a dual exhaust
system and were equipped with the only engine choice, a Chevrolet "Blue Flame"
six-cylinder 235/150 engine. In 1957, the biggest news involving Corvette was
a 250hp fuel-injected engine option. Corvette's second-generation car for 1956
is the model that established worldwide recognition for high performance and beautiful
styling. It offered a 225 HP dual 4 BBL engine with 0-60 of only 7.5 seconds and
could pull 120 MPH. Newly designed front and rear ends with beautifully sculpted
bodysides with curving-concave coves were an improvement over the stubby slab-sided
original. Roll-up windows, optional hardtop and outside door handles were the
icing on the cake to make the '56 a tremendous success. Year after year, Corvette
continues to make improvements with its performance and style.
Now, Corvette delivers more power, passion and precision to reach a new standard
of performance car excellence. The goal was a performance car that would be at
home in virtually any environment. That means raw performance, improved ride comfort,
a precisely built and technically sophisticated interior and contemporary new
body.
When it comes to maintenance, late Corvettes are generally fairly easy to look
after. Like any other car, they have their own idiosyncrasies though. On the other
hand, some people are interested in a complete frame of restoration, with the
goal of a show car comparable to the day the car sat on the showroom floor. Some
Corvette owners are interested in making their car unique. Finally some people
are interested in making their faithful everyday car shine again. So, if you're
one of those Corvette owners, why wait when you can make your old Corvette back
to its shape again. Corvettes are unique in many ways, don't trust your car to
just anyone. Sites from the internet would be a great help also in looking for
your old Corvette parts.
