This 1956 Corvette Convertible is powered by the 265 Cubic Inch V8 with Dual 4 Barrel Carbs rated at 225hp & is optioned with the 2 Speed Powerglide Automatic Transmission. The entire Driveline was Rebuilt during Restoration.

Corvette offered six colour options in 56. This version is Finished in a beautiful Two-Tone Paint scheme of Venetian Red with Ivory Coves & Beige Convertible Rag Top + Red Removeable Hardtop Option. Red Vinyl Textured Seats & Red/White Dash complete the Interior of the car.

1956 marked the First Major Facelift for the 1st Generation (C1) Chevrolet Corvette. Visual design elements that transformed the Facelift include: an Elliptical Concave section at the Rear of the Lower Bodysides that was swept back from the Front Wheel Wells; known as Coves, Faux Vent Scoops atop of the Front Fenders, & Forward Headlights without the Headlight Screens. The 1953-1955 Fenders & Jet-Pod Tail Lamps were minimized to more attractive French Curves contoured to match the Rear Deck curvature. New Taillights were neatly added above a Vertical Bumperette on each Fender. The Trunklid Shadow Box was discarded & the License Plate was moved below the Trunk opening. In all, the result was a smooth, gently curved Backend with slightly protruding Fenders.

New 56 features included: Roll-up Glass Windows replacing the Side Curtains & Power Windows was now an Option, Outside Door Handles, Tighter Fit Convertible Top with Power Option also offered in White or Beige as a choice, new Optional Factory Hardtop with Stand improved visibility over the Soft Top.

A Transistorized Signal-Seek Radio was also offered as an Option, & Seatbelts were also offered for the first time as a dealer installed Accessory Kit. The Stylish Twin Cowl Dashboard & Full Width Instrument Panel was carried over.

From a Performance base, the New Small Block V8 that had made its first appearance in the 1955 Corvette as an Option was now standard for 1956 Model containing more muscle than ever before. The Blue Flame Six Cylinder was gone for good.

All these features & designs shaped Corvette into a Genuine Sports Performance Car with Smart new Styling & full complement of Options & Amenities for its time.

This Corvette is a showpiece that can be enjoyed in any car collection & will stand up to other Corvettes from its Era.
