For Sale in our Orlando Florida Showroom is this beautiful Venetian Red on White 1956 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. One of only 3,467. The Corvette received its first major body redesign in 1956. With exception of the instrument panel which nearly identical, the 1956 was visually completely different from the preceding model. The new design featured roll up windows with power assist optional . external door handles and locks , exposed headlights with chrome surround bezels (expect very early productions which were painted ) and sculptured side cove which permitted the Corvettes first two tone paint combinations. The body was repainted about 10 years ago and maintained very well throughout the years. Walking around this car you will see it really takes you back to 1956 . Moving on to the power behind this historical beast is the original 265 cubic inch 225 hp engine with twin 4 barrel carbs. To enjoy the nice summer breeze down the highway just shift your way through the 4-Speed manual transmission that came out of 56 Vette and features 12 bolt rear end with 3:27 gears. This car will really get up and go. The red vinyl interior is in excellent condition & has that original classic styling to it. The red interior keeps the flow of the car going from the outside to the inside.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
