Additional Description;
This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible combines the unmistakable styling of an early C1 with several well-selected upgrades that make it a more enjoyable classic to drive. Finished in beautiful Frost Blue with contrasting White coves over a Blue vinyl interior, the car is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and Hurst shifter. The small-block is equipped with an Edelbrock intake, 4-barrel carburetor, and dual exhaust, providing plenty of power while retaining the character expected from a classic Corvette.

Drivability has been enhanced with EPAS electric power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and previously rebuilt steering and suspension components. The cabin retains its period appearance while adding the convenience of a retro-style Bluetooth stereo, and the car rides on body-color 15-inch wheels with polished Corvette covers and classic wide whitewall tires. Service records document previous maintenance including carburetor, ignition, engine, steering, and suspension work.

With its striking Frost Blue color combination, V8 power, 4-speed manual transmission, and thoughtful drivability upgrades, this C1 offers an appealing balance between iconic 1950s Corvette styling and a classic that can actually be driven and enjoyed.
