Of similar vintage to the Jag D type was the first Chevrolet Corvette as General Motors sought to get some of those "sports car" sales for themselves.
The 1954 Corvette featured its signature fiberglass body on a steel frame and had a 3.9 liter (236 cubic inch) straight six of 150 hp transmitting power through a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. Manual transmissions were in the future.
The curb weight was just 2,700 pounds and the Corvette went out of the door in the USA for $3,525.
