1956 was a year of many changes for the first-gen Corvette. The straight-six was dropped in favor of the small-block V8, the body was redesigned from the ground up, painted coves were introduced, the doors received roll-up windows, and the passenger seat could move fore and aft. 21 photos
Only 3,467 units were produced that year, which makes the 1956 Corvette pretty darn collectible. Chassis number E56S003304 is one of the nicest survivors out there, a numbers-matching car optioned with the dual-quad intake and three-speed manual transmission. A pair of four-barrel carbs feed the 4.3-liter engine, which cranks out approximately 225 HP.
