"The fiberglass body creaked and groaned"...1957 Corvette roadtest...
(man, am I embarassed...I thought the fiberglass didn't come along until the late 1960s)
532 - LOL - Not to worry - now you can be one of us old timer 'everybody' 's . To quote from your link:
"Everyone knows the first Vette was a fiberglass-bodied, open two-seater powered--somewhat of an overstatement--by the short-lived Blue Flame inline-six. "
though you may not remember, like I do, going out into the road after an accident and literally, 'picking up the pieces'.
