Labels:text | vehicle | car | land vehicle | poster OCR: Corvette sizzles with a NEW HOT V8! (that any Chevy dealer can service!) If you yearn for the go of a custom-type mill, but balk at custom-size service costs - read on! There's a new 225-h.p. high-compression (9.25:1) job with dual 4-jet carbs that has already shot Corvette to new records for American sports cars at Daytona. Coupled with Corvette's new close-ratio "stick" shift it will produce acceleration in first gear alone that will top the best efforts of many justly famous marks. Here, for the first time, is a custom-type engine delivering 270 foot- pounds of torque at 3600 rpm that offers the same convenient, economical service facilities as mass-produced models. The newly styled Corvette also features a power-operated convertible top, and a new plastic hardtop available at extra cost. There are roll-up windows and a cockpit full of other new features that you should see at your Chevrolet dealer's. You're going to like what you see - so see it soon! . . . Chevrolet Division of General Motors, Detroit 2, Michigan. ROAD & TRACK, May, 1955 7
