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.
