Presented here are the engineering features of the new and challenging Chevrolet Corvette for 1957. Its performance, handling stability and luxury ride are designed to please the most critical car enthusiast...
The Corvette SS began life as an experimental race car, and was unveiled to the public at the 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race on March 23, 1957. The SS was in training for Chevrolet's debut at LeMans that year. The Sebring race was, in many ways, Chevrolet's inauguration into modern racing. But the SS never finished the race, much to the dismay of the racing community.
