The Story

A true American icon, the 1957 Chevrolet Corvette represents an excellent blend of style, performance and innovation from the golden era of motoring. With its sculpted fiberglass body, quad headlights and distinctive chrome accents, the '57 Corvette is instantly recognizable and endlessly admired.

This 1957 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in Polo White with matching coves complemented nicely by a white and beige interior. Under the hood, this example is powered by a 283 CI V-8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission (a first for the Corvette line), a pairing that delivered the exhilarating driving experience that helped reinforce the Corvette’s legacy as America’s Sports Car. Finishing the appearance, this Corvette rolls on a set of steel wheels with spinner wheel caps wrapped in whitewall bias-ply tires.

Available in a range of bold color combinations and featuring a minimalist yet elegant cockpit, the 1957 Corvette captured the spirit of 1950s Americana: freedom, speed and a touch of Hollywood glamor. This example features a full gauge cluster including the tachometer, tripometer and speedometer, as well as a radio. Whether admired for its timeless design or its innovative engineering, the '57 Corvette remains a prized collector’s gem and a milestone in Chevrolet’s storied history.
