953 nut 66,947 #1 Posted 18 hours ago June 30, 1953, workers at a Chevrolet plant in Flint, Michigan, watch as the first completed Corvette, a two-seater sports car that would become an American icon, rolls off the assembly line. It was one of just 300 Corvettes made that year. 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 66,947 #3 Posted 7 hours ago I considered buying a Corvette in 1970 until my insurance agent explained that I had to choose between a Vet or eating, at 25 with a few moving violations on my record insurance was going to be more than the car payment and my mortgage combined. The new Chevy pick-up I bought instead was real nice. 2 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The insurance was not bad, in fact it was really nothing at all. Of course they were all 1/25 scale plastic models. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
