Efforts to bring what would eventually become the Corvette to market began as early as 1951, when Harley Earl, GM's head of styling, decided to convince the company to build a sports car. Earl eventually persuaded GM that an all-American two-door sports car was a must-have in their arsenal, and work began shortly after. The 1958 model, such as our subject car, received some extensive styling changes to celebrate four years of Corvette. "It was the only Corvette on O'uha for the four years I was stationed there," said its previous owner. "A real people magnet and social provider." It's imaginable, as, during the era of chrome and quad headlights, this all original 1958 model that now resides in California was the car to be in.
The exterior is finished in what GM calls Snowcrest white and combines perfectly with all the chrome fittings that are an iconic feature of this new generation Corvette. The 58 model was also the first to welcome quad headlights, a well sought-after design at the time. The long and sleek body of the two-door convertible has never been restored and sits on a set of vintage wide whitewall tires with chrome hubcaps. On the subject of vintage American sports cars, it only seems appropriate that this Corvette boasts its exclusive signet red, a beautiful contrasting interior inclusive of a red dashboard, center console, and even red leather seats. The previous owner claims that the car is in sublime condition with all numbers matching. "Prior to my purchase, I had the vette inspected, no sign of any structural damage or repairs. I have all maintenance paperwork from the time of my purchase".
The Chevy sports a complete 283ci 4.6L small-block 2-4 carb V8 engine that has reportedly had a powertrain overhaul. Up to 245 horses are pushed to the wheels via a standard 4-speed manual transmission.

Chevy’s C5 Corvette was introduced for the 1997 model year as the successor to the wildly popular C4 Corvette. The C5 took many of the C4’s best aspects and further refined them. However, it saw a significant mechanical change in that the gearbox was now sited at the rear of the car, directly driving the rear axle. This set-up optimized weight distribution, making the Corvette an even better track handler than it already was. Facilitating this system was a torque tube that rotated at crankshaft RPM, running down the middle of the car straight to the gearbox. This system resulted in the magic 50-50 weight distribution that keen performance driving enthusiasts crave. Today’s 1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hardtop offers that, plus the rarer hardtop body style, and a manual gearbox, making it a truly appealing car for someone who loves to drive and seeks a future classic. This car has covered just under 125,000 miles and lives in New York.
The C2 or second generation of Chevy Corvette is one of the most iconic in the saga of America’s definitive sports car. Made between 1963 and 1967, it had a relatively short production run in comparison to the C1 and C3 that bookended it, yet nearly 118,000 examples were produced in coupe and convertible forms. The C2 introduced pop-up headlamps, the Stingray name (spelled as Sting Ray), and the iconic boat-tailed styling. Today, we have a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible from Ladera Ranch, California, for sale with just 75,461 miles on the clock. This car is an excellent choice for a discerning classic car collector. Alternatively, it’s a perfect starter classic for someone who’s just dipping their toes into classic cars and wants something truly American to own and drive.
The Corvette C3 is one of the most attractive cars in the model's eight-generation history. No wonder that so many astronauts were willing to be seen in one of these. During the third generation of the Corvette, they introduced an edition for those who understand that performance is more than just speed; it's about presence, precision, and power. This is none other than the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition. Corvette likes to describe it as “limited production with unlimited passion.” The example we are showing here bears 18,800 miles on its odometer and is currently located in Laurel, Maryland.
Today, what we know as the Chevrolet Silverado line-up of sturdy full-size pickup trucks can be traced way back to 1960 and Chevy’s C/K Series. Actually, if you really want, you can go back even further, but the proper ancestor is the first-generation C/K. That’s precisely where this 1966 Chevrolet C10 Stepside hails from. These trucks were built in the United States, as well as several other countries including Argentina and Canada. This particular truck is currently stabled in Nevada with just over 44,000 miles to its name. Hence, it’s a great way to dip your feet into the classic car waters, with a machine that’s not just stylish and representative of the Sixties, but something that mobilized countless Americans and helped them reach their goals. We see that two keys plus a brochure are included with the sale of this truck.

Classic car styling blended with modern day aesthetics makes for a machine that takes a lot of your time as you stand back and look at it with awe. The perfect blend is a topic that sees a lot of discussion but the general priority would be to balance out modern day looks while not taking the character of a classic car away. Present today is rare occasion when the perfect blend takes shape and looks like this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.
