300 of 300: The Last 1953 Corvette

Chevrolet’s Corvette has been with us for over 60 years. Clearly the Corvette has retained its popularity with sports car enthusiasts, hence its longevity. As practically all Corvette enthusiasts know, this fiberglass car almost did not survive beyond its first three years of production. It was almost dropped again with the agreement passed in 1957 in which the members of the Auto Manufacturers Association passed a ban on factory-backed promotion of racing and performance. Despite this inconvenience, Bill Mitchell continued to develop the car in secret, risking his career to keep the Corvette in production. The Corvette had to be put on life support from time to time.

'61 Corvette: A True Barn Find!

My love affair with classic cars began in the early ’60s when I was in high school. My first restoration project was a long-time family-owned 1962 Impala Super Sport. This car was featured in the June 2011 issue of Chevy Classics magazine.

After having shown this car for several years and receiving several awards including a Platinum Certificate at the Flagstaff national show, I had a deep desire to restore another car.

Corvette Mania!

Corvette Mania – Kind of like Beatlemania– sort of, anyway; there are a few similarities. The Corvette took a few of years to catch on and then it ignited like wildfire. It had a huge run for a long stretch and then came some darker periods; great and not so great. Overall, The Beatles live on in our hearts and memories as one of the greatest rock/pop bands ever. The Corvette – with its incredible history and its brilliant resurgence since the advent of the C6 (and now C7), has forever cemented its place in our hearts as the greatest, and America’s only, Sports Car.
