1957 Chevrolet Corvette C1

1957 Chevrolet Corvette C1


Chevrolet pulled something amazing out of the hat for 1957: Fuel Injection. First run in 1956 at the Sebring race, the Rochester Ramjet injection was an innovation that solved the fuel starvation problem caused by sloshing under high cornering with carbureted engines under race conditions. The fuel injection system also enabled Chevrolet to boast of having 1 horsepower per cubic inch of displacement with the 283 cubic-inch, 283 horsepower engine.

Additional features you will see on this automobile include a detachable hardtop, a four speed transmission, and 'Positraction' (Chevrolet's version of the limited slip differential/rear axle.)
