Happy 64th birthday to the Corvette!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Corvette!!!
On January 17, 1953, 64 years ago today, at the Motorama at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City Chevrolet introduced to the world for the first time a two seat sports car named for a quick naval vessel. This event, as well as the rest, is history.

While June 30th is generally considered the birthday of the Corvette, no reason not to celebrate the car any chance we get.
