Highway Patrol : 1955 Corvette

1955 Corvette

Highway Patrol would just about turn anyone into an old car fanatic (it certainly did me by the 1960s)

The first driver who got the riot act from Mathews had a rarity even when new. Only 674 were built and GM about killed it off. Nice shots of him driving down the road with it.

I remember that episode.

55 was the first year for the Chevy V8, which finally turned the corvette into a performance car.

I think I mentioned in another post that this show, among other things, was a terrific car show.

Go to to imcdb.org and search Highway Patrol for about a zillion cars that were on the show.

Re: 1955 Corvette

That'sy favorite part of this show. I love seeing all those classic cars from the mid to late 1950's. Also interesting that most all of them have an automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes. These were options back then and not as common as on cars today. Also great seeing all of the convertible models as well.
