Chevrolet plant workers in Flint, Michigan hand assembled the first Corvette on this day in 1953. The vehicle featured a Polo White exterior and red interior.

The American sports car was designed to compete with some European roadsters, including Jaguars and Ferraris, but at a more affordable price. The first Corvette retailed for $3,490.
