Mecum have announced they will offer one of the single most important Corvettes in Corvette history for their upcoming sale in Kissimmee, Florida.<\/p>\n

Mecum describe it as The Car That Saved The Corvette Brand. That’s becuase it was a part of a large motorsports initiative to improve the poor 1955 Corvette sales and this particular car placed 9th overall at the Corvette’s debut race at the 12 Hours of Sebring.<\/p>\n

We have assembled a beautiful page of the Corvette as it appears now for Corvette’s sale.<\/p>\n
