    Website for 53 to 55 Corvettes

    I created a website for 53 to 55 Corvettes.

    I tried to avoid duplicating info on other sites. Thus, the website has some different and offbeat stuff, including:

    1. Two Chevrolet 1954 slide shows (with narration) sent to Chevy dealers. One slide show (Fun on Wheels) enthusiastically discusses the features of the 1954 Corvette. The other slide show (Cash in on Corvette) focuses on how Chevrolet dealers can sell the car. Great Stuff.

    2. An almost complete run of the Blue Flame Special Magazines published by the Vintage Corvette Club from 1969 to 1975. The founder of the VCC, Ed Thiebaud, has very graciously allowed me to post the BFS magazines on the internet. Ed, of course, was one of the very first Corvette collectors/restorers of note. Ed owned many Corvettes, including 1953, #003, #005, #013, etc.

    3. A scanned copy of an original 1954 Owners Manual. Strangely enough, Chevrolet did not copyright the 1954 Manual (later manuals were copyrighted).

    4. Internet Transactions (including ebay) for 1953 - 1955 cars.

    5. And a bunch of old photos.

    Thanks

    Russ

      Russ, thanks for the great site! I appreciate your effort! I already saw some things that will help me get '55 # 175 in better shape! If I can help, let me know.

              Nice website. I was surprised to see that Proteam has found a 53 that has not been restored. I must say that I can not comprehend trying to restore a 53 knowing the limited parts that are available. Thats why I stick to the mid years. My hat is off to you that own the early cars.

                Fantastic website

                Be sure to look through the Blue Flame Special (BFS) articles and the want ads there too.

                Lots of s/n's and owner names for 53-55 cars.
