1961 Chevrolet Corvette
Convertible Roadster

Model Year History Overview:

The first Chevrolet Corvette began life in 1953. Corvette was America’s first and only successful fiberglass sports car. It was the brain-child of the famed GM designer Harley Earl. Corvette almost died in 1955 due to disappointing sales. The Thunderbird out-sold Corvette 3 to 1 during the 1955-57 periods. Corvette was fully redesigned in 1956 and continued basically unchanged through 1962. During this period the original six-cylinder engine gave way to the 265 cid V-8 which evolved first into the 289 cid followed by the 327 cid. 1963 saw the revolutionary Sting Ray, a complete revision of Chevrolet’s sports car.
