Corvette C1
The Chevrolet Corvette C1 is the first generation of the Corvette. The car was built from 1953 to 1962 and underwent several cosmetic and technical revisions during that time. Since its debut, many of its features have been largely retained through the 7th generation, the Corvette C7.


The first Corvette was unveiled to the public at the “Motorama” at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City in January 1953. The public responded positively, and mass production began six months later. Initially, the engine was a slightly modified “Blue Flame” inline six-cylinder engine from a truck, with a displacement of 3.8 liters.
The Chevrolet Corvette C1 offered here was first registered in the U.S. in 1960. Imported to Switzerland many years ago, this sporty convertible—with its 230 PS 4.6-liter V8 engine, automatic transmission, and optional hardtop—was acquired by the seller in 2006 and added to his small collection. Since then, the Vette has been used for occasional drives and participation in historic rallies, though it has covered only about 500 km in the last two years.
This is also why the owner wants to part with the C1. Currently, the Corvette is in good to very good condition and, apart from the American Racing 15-inch alloy wheels and the retro radio with USB and mini-SD, is in a very original state with signs of wear on the paint and interior that are typical for its age. The last vehicle inspection (MFK) as a classic car took place in September 20
