It also had many changes to the chassis and drive train which improved out right performance. One of the most distinguished features of the &#8217;56 was the two-tone paint which could be ordered for $19.40 and painted the cutouts behind the front wheels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Many features such as a better folding top, roll-up windows, an optional hardtop and external door hinges improved usability of the car. One very rare option was power windows. Joe Schemansky modified the interior only slightly to include a new 3-spoke steering wheel and waffle-pattern inserts in the seats.<\/p>\n<p>Introduced only a year earlier, the small-block V8 engine was retained, but a new RPO449 option raised power up to 240 bhp.<\/p>\n<p>Zora Duntov explained in Auto Age that <i>&#8220;The target was to attain such handling characteristics that the driver of some ability could get really high performance safely. The main objects of suspension changes were: increase of high speed stability, consistency in response to the steering wheel over a wide range of lateral accelerations and speeds, and improvement of power transmission on turns&#8221;<\/i> What he did was place shims in the front cross member to increase caster by 2\u00ba and raised the rear spring hangers.<\/p>\n<p>Carl Renner was responsible for the styling changes to the Corvette which included many features from his LaSalle II Motorama show car including the cutouts behind the front wheels.<\/p>\n<p>The Corvettes first major victory came at the the 1956 Sebring 12 Hours when John Fitch and Walter Hangsen drove their Corvette to 9th overall and first in class.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being fairly competitive, the Corvette was a good match for the Mercedes 300SL in American racing. Dick Thompson raced a Corvette in 1956 and won the C-Production class. He nearly won the last running of the Pebble Beach National Road Races but lost due to his fading brakes. He said \u201cThe car ran very well and I led the race at Pebble until the brakes evaporated. The Corvette brakes were absolutely terrible and they continued to be for a long time.\u201d Thompson describes his win at Palm Springs: \u201cOn the last lap the brakes went out completely and I drove the final lap of that race with no brakes\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1956-chevrolet-corvette-gallery\/\">1956 Chevrolet Corvette Image Gallery<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>See full <a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1956-chevrolet-corvette-gallery\/\">1956 Chevrolet Corvette Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Sources &amp; Further Reading.<\/h4>\n<p>1.Friedman Dave. <u>Corvette Racing Thunder<\/u>.
