Corvette Model Gallery

1957 Roadster

Silver would be added to the color options for ‘57 although Onyx Black would be the favorite. Outside of this there were no external changes from 1956. The option list, on the other hand, almost doubled and mostly with performance items including the fuel injection option on four of the six engines. When mated to the new optional four-speed manual transmission Corvette was becoming quite a performer. Fuelie cars can be easily spotted by the Fuel Injection script on the front fender side cove. The influence of Zora who would become chief engineer in ‘57 was being seen. The buying public also approved with a production number reaching more than six thousand cars.
