Aztec Copper w/Biege interior, 265/240hp, 3-speed manual transmission. The 1956 model year was a huge milestone for Corvette. This was the year that Americas Sports Car when from an impractical Roaster to a much more user-friendly Convertible! Corvette had its first major redesign in 56. And with the exception of the dash/instrument panel, everything was basically brand new! Of course, the biggest change was the inclusion of roll-up windows for the first time. Along with that was a soft top that was redesigned to make it much easier to put up and down. Especially with the optional power assist! Exterior wise, everything was new. The absolutely beautiful body featured taillights that were sculpted inter the rear fenders and the iconic side coves made their first appearance. Which were available with a contrasting color! Up front, the chrome tooth grille remained in slightly modified form. And the headlights were now devoid of screens. Engine choices were all V8s. No more 6cyl engines! They included the base, single 4bb 265/210hp, the dual quad 265/225hp and the very rare Duntov dual quad 265/240hp.
