The Corvette, it may surprise some to know, has been manufactured by Chevrolet since 1953. After the war, many soldiers were returning home with their foreign built sports cars, the Alfa Romeo and Jaguar just to name a couple. Harley Earl was in charge of design at Chevrolet and he convinced the powers above that they too needed a two-seat sports car. Of this discussion the 1953 Corvette was born.
A shocking fact to many classic car buffs may be that the Corvette was and always has had a fiberglass shell. Originally, it was a matter of limited steel due to the war; however, the strong but light construction became the material of choice for all Corvettes.
