1959 Chevrolet Corvette

This vehicle is located at our Indianapolis location

The GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette for your consideration. This vehicle was acquired by the current owner out of an estate collection where it was purchased in largely the same condition that you see it here today. The originally blue exterior on this Corvette features an older repaint over what is a very strong body. This convertible makes an excellent cruiser thanks to the smooth running V8 paired with the 2-speed automatic transmission. The interior on this convertible is in good condition and is free of tears or major defects. A manual convertible top is equipped that appears to be recently replaced and is free of rips or tears. Currently showing 47,210 miles on the odometer, this Corvette has tremendous potential to be turned into a show car or enjoyed as is.

The C1 Corvette was the first generation of the now iconic sports car offered by Chevrolet from the 1953 model year through 1962. A brainchild of Harley Earl who recognized the return of GIs after serving overseas were expressing an interest in MGs, Jaguars, and Alfa Romeos that all showed a trend of small 2-seater convertible sports cars. Earl was able to convince GM that America needed a small 2-seater and a Special Projects team began working on the car in late 1951.
