Corvette made its public debut in January 1953 at the 1953 GM Motorama held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. Production began in June of that year in a pilot production facility in Flint, Michigan, where the cars were largely assembled by hand. The surviving examples constitute the rarest Corvettes of all, and while America’s Sports Car has come a long way, the first Corvettes remain among the most sought-after by collectors.
Winner of Bloomington Gold Certification, multiple NCRS Top Flight Awards and the NCRS Duntov Award, this 1953 Chevrolet Corvette roadster is serial number 93 of the 300 examples built in the historic first year of Corvette production, and one of fewer than approximately 125 to 140 known to exist today. Restored in the mid 1970s and again in the early 2000s, it is finished in iconic Polo White with a Sportsman Red interior and Black soft top and powered by Chevrolet’s 235/150 HP “Blue Flame Six” fitted with triple Carter sidedraft carbs and mated to a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission.
One of the finest first-year Corvettes anywhere, it is documented with ownership history dating to 1975.
