We are still waiting to see the seventh generation Corvette, but it looks like Chevrolet has decided to make us wait a little bit longer by beginning a very cool series of tribute videos for the past Corvette models. The first episode covers the one and only Corvette C1.
Harlan Charles, Corvette Product Manager, discusses everything important about the first generation of Corvette - from the 1953 Corvette show car at the GM Motorama to winning its class against foreign brands racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He also goes into detail about the father of the Corvette, Zora Arkus-Duntov, the initial Blue Flame engine, and the first of Chevrolet’s small block V8 engines.
All you have to do is sit back and enjoy a very cool lesson about the Chevrolet Corvette C1!
