Posted 03/31/2020 Seen at: https://www.sportscardigest.com/mecum-kissimmee-2012-auction-report/ Lot # F231.1 1955 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster; S/N VE55S001272; Harvest Gold/Yellow vinyl; Green vinyl top; Older restoration, 2 condition; Hammered Sold at $98,000 plus commission of 6.00 percent; Final Price $103,880 -- 265/195hp, Powerglide, Wonder Bar radio, spinner wheel covers, whitewalls. An older restoration to showroom condition maintained that way for twenty years. 1985 NCRS Top Flight, 1986 Bloomington Gold Special Collection. No Reserve. 1955 Corvettes occupy a special place in Corvette history: the last year of the original roadster body and the first year with V-8 power. Plus, they did not build many, just 700 for the year in total. 195hp and Powerglide won't light up the tires, but it will always have a place on a show field and has survived a quarter century with little effect showing. It is a good value at this price.
