1954 Corvette Roadster
What is your favourite sports car of all time?
Made from a new wonder material, glass fibre, the Chevrolet Corvette made its debut in 1953. The dramatic looking model should have been a smash hit but these early cars were plagued with problems and only 315 Corvettes were delivered in 1953. For the first two years the car used a straight-six engine which delivered its 150bhp through a two-speed automatic gearbox and that wasn't the right formula for a true sports car. This was rectified in 1955 when Ed Cole's 4.3 litre V8 with a three-speed manual gearbox was offered as an option.
