June 30, 1953, the first of a new kind of Chevrolet rolled off an
assembly line in Flint, Mich. Skeptics gave it little chance of lasting.
However, 60 years later the Chevrolet Corvette thrives as an American
automotive and cultural icon.“Through the years, Corvette certainly offered state-of-the-art features, designs, technologies and performance,” said Tadge Juechter, vehicle chief engineer for Corvette. “No matter what your station in life, when you’re behind the wheel of a Corvette, you’re an Olympic athlete — able to go faster, stop quicker, and turn better than everyone else.”
