Vintage Corvette Advertisement - Pleasure Package

Although critics have plenty to rave about in Corvette's past victories, all eyes were on the new Corvette with a tremendous power potential offered in the new engines, especially fuel injection. How hot would they be? The answer came in December of 1956...

...at the 210-mile Nassau trophy race for international competition. Four stock model fuel-injection Corvettes, equipped with limited-slip differential, lined up with the 49 qualifiers. Several grueling hours later...

...the winners crossed the finishing line. First place: Corvette. Second place: Corvette. Third place: Corvette. Fourth place: Corvette. Yes, all four Corvettes finished on top in the stock production sports model class, beating such sports cars as the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, which sells for more than $7,000. What's more...

...nearly half of the 49 qualifiers in the Nassau Trophy race didn't even finish.

Yes, the Corvette is a champion in any kind of driving you do. Open road, suburban chores, you name it, the Corvette fills your need. And your good judgment is confirmed in other ways, such as...

...the Corvette's impressive retention of resale value. As one official red book example, a three-year-old Corvette costing $800 less than a luxury convertible in the high-price class is now worth $110 more. It's clear: The Corvette not only gives you the pleasure of a smart investment, but also...

...the pleasure of being surrounded by the newest and most stylish.

The Corvette gives you the pleasure of power, which gives you command of the road, plus the pleasure of trigger-tight handling. Yes, the Corvette gives you...

...a personal car, more luxurious and distinctive than any on the road, and a sports car that puts you out front unchallenged. All this is the Corvette. All this can be yours.
