The First Corvette

[LS1Hawk]

Or perhaps the oldest, The EX122. The letter states there were some "dummy" models before this that were called Corvettes but had no resemblance to the production cars. So this in fact is the first...

Score another point for NJ as well.... It's now owned by a dealer in Atlantic City.

Facinating story. I love the copy of the check from '59! Thank you for that post LS1Hawk!

Yes, that check and the letter written to Jack Ingle from 1959 adds a nice personal touch to the story.
