The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car that has been manufactured by Chevrolet since June 1953.
It is built today at a General Motors assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but in the past it was built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri. It was the first all American sports car built by an American car manufacturer. The car nearly died in 1955, but that year a V-8 replaced the six-cylinder used in 1953 and 1954. The oldest surviving production Corvette is serial number E53F001003, the third 1953 Corvette to ever come off the Flint assembly line and is known as “double-o-three” to Corvette enthusiasts. It was sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction on January 21, 2006 in Scottsdale, AZ, for US$1,000,000.
