1957 Corvette SS
The Corvette SS, introduced in 1957, was intended to be the prototype competition car. But shortly after the SS made a
promising debut at Sebring, under the personal direction of Zora Arkus-Duntov, European designer and driver, the
Automobile Manufacturers Association resolution on competition cut off this line of development. As an alternative,
Chevrolet decided to give the Corvette buyer as much of both worlds as possible by combining in one automobile the
comfort of a tourer and the ability of a competition sports car.
