68 COOLEST CARS / ROLL-OUT THE LEGENDS CHEVROLET CORVETTE C1 MADE IN AMERICA WORDS BY ANDREW GUERRERO America’s love affair with the sports car began after World War II, when GI’s returning from Europe also brought home their lightweight roadsters. Thus began the British sports-car invasion of the US. GM design chief Harley Earl suggested to his higher-ups that they needed a sports car, too, so in 1953, after two years of conceptualization and development, the very first Chevrolet Corvette was born. The fiberglass Corvette was initially available with just a 150hp 3.9-liter straight-six mill and a two-speed automatic transmission. It was hardly the performance car its sleek styling suggested—until Zora Arkus-Duntov got involved. The ‘Father of the Corvette’ pushed for the car to get a 195hp V8 motor and a manualtransmission option, and he was only getting started. Over the following years, the car’s performance and refinement continued to improve. By 1957, fuel-injection tech had made its way to the engine, bumping up its 4.6-liter V8’s output to 283hp, then to 290hp. In the model’s final year, an optional 5.4-liter V8 with 360hp was made available. Likewise boosting the Corvette’s image as a legitimate sports car was its presence in motorsports. It may have had a bumpy start, but in its nine-year lifespan the Corvette C1 evolved from a tame roadster to a world-class ride. Costly European sports cars were no longer the only source of style and performance. The Corvette provided it at a fraction of the price.
