1959 Corvette Roadster
What is your favourite sports car of all time?
From 1958 the Corvette started to sell around 10,000 units a year although the purity of the 1956 car's lines were to some extent lost under extra chrome and the new fashionable quad lights. Like other sports cars of the era, the car was putting on weight and becoming more of a GT and despite different tune options the overall performance was not as good as the 1957 model. In 1962 however, this was rectified by the launch of the 360bhp option, which was capable of 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and made every other mass produced sports car look slow. For that you paid $5,000 and received a car that was also practical, reliable and comfortable.
