1 of 325 produced in Polo White
Comprehensive restoration completed in 1982
California car
Original 265 CI engine
Powerglide automatic transmission
Restored interior and top
Pushbutton radio
Wide whitewall tires
Full size wheel covers

The product of a comprehensive restoration, this beautiful 1955 Chevrolet
Corvette Roadster is one of 325 Polo White examples that rolled off the assembly
line that year, just a total of 700 built. Still motivated by the original 265 CI V-8
engine and Powerglide automatic transmission, it has been well maintained for
many years. Sporting a pushbutton radio, the pristine two-seater rolls on
Firestone 6.70-15 bias-ply wide whitewall tires with full-size wheel covers. The
California car features a beautifully restored top and bright-red interior, presenting
well, especially under the hood. The engine and its surrounding compartment
are very well detailed with a chrome air cleaner and valve covers being the
noteworthy highlights.
