Chevrolet Corvette Super Sport

The Chevrolet Corvette Super Sport is a one-off show car built by the Chevrolet division of General Motors. It was described as a 1957 model and first shown in December 1956 at the Waldorf Astoria Auto Show in New York City. It began as a regular production 1956 Corvette from the display floor of the GM Building in Detroit and was rebuilt in the Styling Department at a cost of 18,000 dollars. The changes included two bubble windscreens inspired by the SR-2 racing Corvettes, an anodized aluminum interior and a new 283 cubic inch small-block V8 with Rochester Ramjet fuel injection, the first GM engine shown to the public with injection. It was also the first Corvette with a blue interior, leather seats and cupholders. After its show career it was wrecked, left in a junkyard and later restored, and it appeared at the 2017 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
