Was driving around today and see this car coming up from far ahead. It was hard to recognize it because I certainly hadn't seen many of those before! I thought to myself, "Is that a C1?". And sure enough just as I realize that my assumption was correct, I see the owner waving at me nice and high. I eargerly waved back and had a smile on my face for a few minutes.
I love my damn car, and I love the cammaraderie that comes with the ownership!
I'm 24, I should own a house, but instead, I own a Z. And I wouldn't have it any other way!

well heres the thing, the C1 is the 56-62 corvette. But, there was a 52-55 corvette as well.
here is a 54
and here is a 56
they look very diff. to me. I don't know why they would be considered the same generation. and the early vettes came with v6's and v8's were optional!

Maybe the first body vette is the C0!
