Every flavor from bottom
to the top: Vanilla, Lime, Copper, Cherry, Cherry, Black Cherry and a couple
more Vanilla's. They really were
delicious. The Lime, Copper and Black Cherry engines are below. |

I really liked this Harvest
Gold 1955. It was one of only Six Tripower Stovebolt 6 cylinders built
during 1955, the year the V8 debuted in Corvettes. |
|
|
This is the exception.
Of the 700 1955 models produced, only 6 were not V8s. Saying, you seldom
get a chance to look at these is no exaggeration. |
|
|
This is another 1955 beauty
in Corvette Copper with a Beige interior. |
|
|
This
Copper 1955 was a V8. Note the chrome domed coffee can shield around the
distributor. I threw away those hexagonal vacuum advance pods in my stupidity
decades ago. |
|
|
The firewall mounted coil
also has a chromed shielding cover. Note the tach drive and tach cable
behind the generator. Above the air cleaner, a valve in a heater hose. |
|
|
This manual shut off valve
controls the flow of water through the heater core. Why they were not also
factory installed on most all later Corvettes is a mystery. |

Above a beautiful Onyx Black 1957 with FI. The only defect
I noticed was the wrong part numbered upper radiator hose. |
|
|
At Old Town there are rides for all ages. |
|
|
These 1958's with trunk
irons are a favorite, and in Regal Turquoise this photo does not do justice
to this color. |
