When was the Corvette made?

Answer 1

The very first Corvette, a 6 cylinder, designed by Harley Earl, was made in 1953. They have been in production ever since. Current production is in Bowling Green, Ky. Answer Correct. The first official production year of the Corvette was 1953. It first appeared as a concept car at the 1952 Autorama show, and was so well-received that GM gave it the green light for production.

Harley Earl was one of a hand-picked design team. Another noteworthy name in Corvette history is Zora Arkus-Duntov.

The first Corvettes actually used the same frame, chassis, drivetrain components and gauges as the regular Chevrolet passenger vehicles. The only real differences were that the 6-cylinder engine in the Corvette was equipped with performance-enhancing parts and the then-revolutionary fiberglass coupe body.

Now in their 6th generation, Corvettes are produced at a specialized production facility in Bowling Green, KY. (This facility opened in 1981.) Along with the that assembly line is the National Corvette Museum. No 1983 Corvette was put into production. Only prototypes. There were apparently several design flaws and production setbacks. The first Corvette rolled off of the assembly line June 20, 1953.
