1960 Chevrolet Corvette convertible
The Corvette represents America’s first true sports car. Until the early 1960s a sports car usually meant a foreign import. Now a cult car in its own right, the Corvette was introduced in 1953 as the first serried-built production car to have a fibreglass body.
Initial sales, however, were disappointing, so much so that manufacture was almost abandoned in 1955. Subsequent redesigns and upgrading saved the marque.
This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is on display in Haynes Motor Museum.
