The first Chevrolet Corvette rolled off the assembly line 65 years ago today, June 30, 1953 in Flint, Michigan. The car was featured months earlier in the Feb. 2, 1953 LIFE story: "CARS-TO-COME HOG LIMELIGHT—They have a flashy, foreign look.' According to LIFE, "This midwinter, with their traditional hullabaloo, U.S. auto makers whipped the wraps from their 1953 models. What they unveiled was a line of slick new machines that bore the unmistakable influence of the foreign-styled sports car." This image ran in the story with the following caption: "Chevrolet Corvette has souped-up 160 hp Chevvy engine, will do 100. It seats two people, has exposed rear wheels, unconventional bumpers."
