1953 Runway Corvette

 1953 Runway Corvette- If there's a runway it is almost mandatory to drive a car to the end of it and take some pictures.

Here is our 1953 Chevrolet Corvette at the end of 32R somewhere in the great American southwest.

 The 1953 Corvette started life as a concept car and eventually 300 were carefully assembled by hand in Flint, Michigan. These first Corvettes were powered by an inline six cylinder engine putting out 150 horsepower. Sports car lovers considered them to be underpowered. The first 'Vette did the quarter mile in 18 seconds and 0 to 60 in 11. Not very impressive, perhaps on a par with a modern four cylinder SUV.

There are only 225 C1 Corvettes left and a nice one could set you back $100,000 or more.

Yellow Chevy Corvette Lost in the City

The first 300 Corvettes were handmade in Flint Michigan 60 years ago- since then thousands have roamed the streets and race tracks of the world. 

This Yellow Corvette has found its way into inner Detroit City under mysterious circumstances- perhaps you will be the one to rescue it and hang it on a wall.
