OOPS! I missed this. We agree except as to what year that was.

1957 'Vette


1958 'Vette


The 1958 Corvette was also the first year for a side vent in the bodywork.

Now, the 1961 Corvette was the first of the "bobtail" Corvettes. Otherwise it pretty much looked the same as a 1958.

1961 'Vette

Crap! Missed this one too! The first "Fuelly" of any kind was 1957, a 283 C.I.D., 283 B.H.P. motor. I think the 327/360 was introduced in 1963, the first production "Stingray"*. The '62 would have been a 327/315.

*Can you imagine what a '63 split window "Fuelly" would be worth?!

Split windows are one my favs. Don't know why cause my tall, fat ass couldn't fit in one unless I drove it from the trunk.
