On June 30, 1953 Chevrolet introduces the Corvette. Billed as a 1954, there were only 300 built in 1953. Fifty-six years later, approximately 225 of them are still known to exist. All of the cars were Polo White with a red interior and a black canvas top. There were two options offered: a signal seeking AM radio ($145.15) and a heater ($91.40). Although listed as options, all 1953 Corvettes

were equipped with both items. The radio had an interesting feature: since fiberglass is electrically inert, the antenna was simply incorporated in the trunk lid. This would not be possible with a conventional steel body.

1953 Pontiac Convertible1953 was the first year Pontiac had a one piece windshield and still sported the double

chrome strip in the center with a Plastic Indian head that lit up when the lights were turned on. Both were dropped in 1957. The Pontiac was named after the town in Michigan where it was first built, which in turn was named after an Indian Chief.
