Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichThis is a highly sought-after Corvette C1 that is a true rarity: it is only the second owner and still has its original paint! Its exceptionally good, unique condition is further underscored by a Classic Data rating of 2+. A C1 in such excellent original condition is virtually impossible to find today and has significant potential for appreciation in value.

Comments of this past auction
Hallo, besitzt die Corvette wirklich wirklich noch den Erstlack (Auslieferungszustand), also es gibt keinerlei Nachlackierungen/ Ausbesserungen? Gibt es irgendwelche Risse in der Karosserie? Vielen Dank!
Technik: Die erste grundlegende äußere Überarbeitung der Corvette fand 1956 statt. Die Heckflossen verschwanden völlig, dafür hielten seitliche Einbuchtungen hinter den Vorderrädern und die erste Zweifarb-Lackierung in der Modellgeschichte Einzug. Äußere Türgriffe und Seitenscheiben mit Fensterkurbel waren eine weitere Neuerung dieses Jahrgangs. Das Hardtop wurde ab Werk mitgeliefert. Die bisher in die Karosserie integrierten Frontscheinwerfer lagen nun frei und standen etwas hervor, während die bei der ersten Corvette noch herausragenden Rücklichter nun in die hinteren Kotflügel integriert wurden. Es standen zusätzliche Lackierungen und Innenfarben zur Auswahl. Mit dem überarbeiteten Fahrwerk konnte die Corvette noch mehr Leistung auf die Straße bringen. Die Verkaufszahlen stiegen 1956 auf 3467 Fahrzeuge. LG Tom
