Chevrolet Corvette 283 CID V8 1961
General description :
For sale in our Nashville showroom is this gorgeous 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, yes I said convertible! This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette for sale is the epitome of the American sports car. This first generation C1 Corvette is powered by its original 283 CID V8 small-block Chevrolet with dual quads and a smooth shifting 4-speed manual transmission, oh my! This bad boy is equipped with an original clock and radio, a heater that blows hot which is great for those fall rides with the top down, white wall radial tires, steel wheels with stock style wheel covers, a manual convertible top and a full vinyl interior. The signature Corvette four taillight layout first appeared on the 1961 model, and that styling que continues to this day. This was also the last year for the contrasting paint color in the cove areas. The then outrageous 1961 Corvette brought new rear styling, bumpers, and round taillights, along with a new fine mesh grill to continue the evolution of perhaps the ultimate American driving machine. You must experience this excellent example of the beauty and engineering first hand to truly appreciate these cars. You won’t be disappointed! There is a reason why this nearly 60 year old car has attracted such a following and still captures the imagination of the young and old alike. Come see it before it’s gone and make the dream car you’ve been thinking about since childhood yours today!

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.
