Wink Here one more thing to celebrate this Holiday Weekend!

First Chevrolet Corvette rolls off the line Today June 30 1953!

The first Corvette is built in Flint, Michigan. The 'Vette had been designed solely for the 1953 New York Auto Show, but enthusiasm from the public and Chevy 's chief engineer led to production of this consumer model. It will become an iconic sports car, with the one millionth Corvette being produced in 1992.

The 1953 and 1954 are undeniably pretty but who in their right mind would buy an under-powered 6 cylinder engine and an automatic transmission? Not criticizing it at all, but...well, I just don't understand.

Since we're talking about the first Corvette rolling off the factory line in 53 let's have a bit of nostalgia here, not just new fangled techno wizzardry....
