1953 Corvette and only 300 were made this first year of production. These initial cars had a 3 carb setup on an inline six kicking out 150 horsepower mated to a two speed transmission. All were white bodies, red interiors with a black removable ragtop. Rumor has it Chevrolet gave one of the first few production cars to John Wayne for him to promote but he didn't like it because it was so hard for him to get in and out of. :-)
