Car history:
Posted 03/29/2020 Seen at: http://www.corvetteownersclubhouston.com/gold-standard/ This is the 29th Corvette manufactured in 1955 of the 700 built. This Corvette has its complete original drive train as well as all of its original body parts and trim. The color options offered for the Corvette in 1955 were Polo White, Pennant Blue, Gypsy Red, Corvette Copper and Harvest Gold. The 12-volt electrical system and V8 engine were first put in the 1955 Corvette. All previous Corvettes, 1953 and 1954 were equipped with 6-cylinder engines, cast-iron 2 speed automatic power glide transmissions and 6-volt electrical systems. The 265 cubic inch V8 solid lifters and 4-barrel Carter Carburetor produced 195 horsepower and were quite quick for the era. The Gold V was added over the Chevrolet side script to indicate the V8 engine. Owner: Steve Newsom
