Author’s Note: This
article was written to honor the 50th Anniversary of my favorite car, the Chevy Corvette. Since
the first Vette 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.
