Re: Happy Birthday
I remember seeing, for the first time, pictures of the 1953 "GM Motorama" car (a prototype named Corvette) in the Jan. Automotive News. My father was an Olds.-Cadillac dealer, and this was required reading in our house. Anyway, I thought that that was the coolest ride that I ever saw. As it turned out, later, that Fall, the local Chevrolet dealer, Frank Yenko, who was a friend of my father's, arranged for Chevrolet to bring one of the early cars to display at the county fair. After getting the chance to see this car up close and personal, I realized that this car was something special, even though it did have a six cylinder engine and a 2-speed powerglide. [not to bore anyone, but, most people probably don't realize that only several GM prototypes actually ever made it to production,virtually unchanged. That first Corvette, the first mini-van (Trans Sport, /Venture / Silhouette) and the Aztec come to mind.]
