What year was Corvette introduced?
1953. It came out with a six cylinder and a powerglide (2 speed auto trans); no other powertrain options. In fact, if the 265 v-8 handn't been introduced in 1955, the vette would have died. I think that in '54 only about 600-800 vettes were even built due to the sucky six-banger.
When the Corvette was first introduced in 1953 it was only available in what color?
white The first model, a convertible, was designed by Harley Earl and introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. 300 hand-built polo white Corvette convertibles were produced for the 1953 model year.
Does the corvette zr1 come in automatic or just standard?
Manual only
What GM products did the 2 speed powerglide come in?
Chevrolet & Pontiac were the only brands to use to Powerglide. The rear engine Corvair used a modified Powerglide. Pontiac used a similar transmission in the Tempest although it was called a TempesTorque'. Some sources claim Pontiac and Oldsmobile used the older, cast-iron case Powerglide when the Hydromatic transmission plant burned in '53. Most if not all Pontiacs of the '60's and '70's that have a two-speed automatic transmission do NOT have a Powerglide; they have a Turbo-Hydramatic model 300 transmission; also used by Oldsmobile.
