Very innovative, it was also the first production car to have a fiberglass body. Initially equipped with a 6-cylinder inline engine and a 2-speed automatic transmission, it would quickly receive a small block V8 and a mechanical 3 then 4-speed transmission as an option. Little appreciated for being underperforming, the 6-cylinder would be abandoned as early as 1956. The C1 would be the first of the CORVETTES within a legendary line that has been in production for over 60 years.
