1959 Corvette, A Vintage Racing Icon

An aggressive stance and menacing growl have always been synonymous with American Muscle Cars, and the Chevy Corvette is a car that comes to the top of most peoples minds when they think of classic sports cars. The Corvette was introduced in 1954 and has withstood the test of time, remaining a favorite among gear heads for generations. The corvette came about in an era of over the top designs, however it stood apart with its balanced styling and impressive performance. This Corvette is a 1959 and is powered by a 283ci V8 with Rochester fuel injection and mated to a four speed manual transmission. It also has a dual exhaust, with the normal muffled exhaust exiting through the rear bumpers and side exhaust fitted with removable steel covers to give the driver the option to remove the steel plates and let the engine roar to its full potential. Bob Bondurant, Bill Thomas, Dick Guldstrand, Zora Arkus-Duntov, and Joe Freitas are proudly present on the center console. Classic American Muscle cars have always been perfect for those who like to wrench on their own cars, and this Corvette is no exception. With parts being readily available and inexpensive compared to their Italian counterparts the Chevy Corvette is ticks all the boxes.

It's hard to deny or knock classics no matter who made them.

[@matrox]

The most desirable classics are from America.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

@@matrox While they can be very desireable, desire is a very personal thing and therefore your statement is an opinion.

Wow you have such a cool job! You nail it on being too OCD about owning a perfect car. I like you're knowing the difference between old Ferraris and old corvettes. It's nice to hear about the Driving experience that you relate. Not having driven any Ferraris, just old corvettes. Thanks for sharing! CHEERS

When you mentioned trying to Paralle parking this Vette, cold sweats start dripping down my forehead. Nice video.

[@tonysteppan8495]

The driving test back then in Ca. Yup the dreaded parallel parking! Today you can push a button and well ah. We would have never dreamed of that.

[@imp736]

I had one, the best car I ever had.

[@FerrarisOnline]

They are such a blast to drive, and they look badass 😎

[@kriskross63]

Thank you for another marvellous review! I‘m loving all your presentations!

[@dancingtrout6719]

[@thomasstalder6708]

That's the best Corvette I have ever seen.

[@gregoryunderwood4121]

I can't believe you're only asking $79,950. That's a steal!

[@Lumber_Jack]

Nice video Colleen!

[@kev-the-windsurfer.]

I've always been a Ferrari guy, but its hard to ignore a car like this, very stylish with that crossplane V8 burble and growl.....I think it is a cool car for sure!! Nice video, I always learn something from your videos, sometimes even about Ferrari's!!

[@Supermankev2001]

This is the second video of yours I have watched. I am interested in C1 corvettes. These are some of the best videos around this topic good job. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@FerrarisOnline]

Sweet, thanks. There is much more information on the cars on our website vs. what we can stuff into a short youtube video. 😀

[@rudychavez7934]

The 58 was the first with dual headlights, washboard hood, trunk spears these changes make the 58 very desirable love the C-1&C-2 corvettes love your video's ❤

[@tonycolca2241]

The chevrolet small block v8 weighed less than the 6. Both of those weren't bad with manual steering. The one that was a killer were the 348 and 409. These engines were never available in a corvette. In the full size cars they were available in power steering was almost mandatory.

My car is a 17' Super Sport Camaro 6 speed. ✊🥳

[@ueab12]

Great looking car. 😃😃

[@studio-flash]

As good as any Ferrari the Corvette is fantastic

This is one of the few US cars that rivaled the European cars of it’s era.

[@FerrarisOnline]

This one has an amazing history too!

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

Yes. And a decent price!

[@horvathr95]

@@jamesdellaneve9005 In sportiness, yes. In luxury however a 57-58 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham was miles ahead of Mercedes and Rolls Royce. Power windows, seats, and even the trunk was power operated. Cruise control , AC, air suspension. A rolls had none of that.

[@matrox]

@@horvathr95 Exactly...and BMW was a joke back then.

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

@@horvathr95 No doubt. I was only speaking of the style. I love the 60s European cars. And I had to dri e the crap boxes that we made in the 70s. Talk about uninspiring garbage
