In the early 1950s, the American sports car market was largely ruled by European imports. It was during this time that Chevrolet introduced the original Corvette. The first models featured a forward-thinking design, combining a steel frame with lightweight fiberglass body panels. Power came from a 3.8-liter inline-6 producing 149.9 HP. Initially built as a limited run of just 300 units, the Corvette quickly captured public interest, leading to full-scale production beginning in 1954. That year, output was increased slightly to 152.9 HP, and by 1958, the Corvette gained distinctive quad headlights.
