A CLASSIC IS BORN. The first fiberglass Corvette rolled off a special assembly line at a Flint, Michigan plant on June 30, 1953. The one color choice available was Polo White with a red leather interior. It had a 150 horsepower engine with a two-speed automatic transmission. The only options available were a heater and an AM radio. Of the original 300 Corvettes built, 235 still exist today.
