Description : Gateway Classic Cars is excited to offer this Stunning 1961 Chevrolet Corvette by our Ft Lauderdale Showroom. With Corvette sales consistently increasing over the previous two model years, General Motors executives decided to review some of Mitchellâs designs and made the decision to âgreen light" a restyling of Corvette for the 1961 model year.
The most pronounced of the Corvette's changes was the introduction of a freshened rear end design. The âducktail" design (as it has become known amongst Corvette enthusiasts) was virtually lifted from the rear of the car. The new rear end also showcased a pair of small, round taillights on each side of the license plate recess. The rear end of the car now featured a pair of small chrome bumpers that framed a third, small, chrome, âarch" bumper that wrapped around the license plate well.
On the front end of the car, they redesigned the layout of the dual headlamp system, providing Corvette with a more streamlined version of the of the existing four lamp nose. Headlight bezels were no longer available in chrome, but instead were painted to match the rest of the body. Likewise, the chrome âteeth" grill was replaced with a fine wire mesh insert that was finished in argent silver. With improvements in fiberglass manufacturing combined with refined assembly processes improving the car's fit and finish, the 1961 Corvette was quickly recognized by critics and enthusiasts alike as the best built Corvette yet.
This Gorgeous 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is a great example of the 1961 Corvette legacy. This most awesome Vette, is finished with the Two-Tone Exterior paint in the beautiful âJewel Blue" with âWhite" coves and a matching âJewel Blue" color interior. Indeed, the interior has been well maintained and cared for throughout the years. You won't find any rips, tears or splits in the seats or headliner. This beauty comes with both the Hard Top as well as a new White Soft Top. Under the hood is the original 283 V8 Engine backed and combined with the original 4-speed Transmission. Other options include but are not limited to: New Tires, Hub Caps, New Radiator, Am/Fm Cassette Radio, Spare Tire, Jack, Seat Belts, Wide White Wall Tires, Recent Tune-up, Oil Change and more!

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.
