Since the first Corvette rolled off the assembly line in 1953, it has starred in TV shows, such as “Route 66,” received mention in songs (Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, Prince) and is glorified in it’s very own museum. It has become a legend as the only American sports car, with a large following of enthusiastic owners and fans.
