That’s right, wasn’t the ‘53 Vette more of a prototype and didn’t go into production until 1954?

Anyway, I was a ten year old kid in 1960 when my Dad was shopping for a new car to replace our 1953 Ford. In the Chevrolet showroom there was a Corvette with the flat taillight lenses contoured to the fender. There was also a 1960 Nomad station wagon to die for.

I asked Dad, “Can we buy the Corvette?” He smiled.

Dad bought a Kingswood station wagon. Automatic tramsmission, air conditioned. Electric rear window, third seat facing aft.

I thought we’d bought the Queen Mary.
