Great Cars: Corvette

Returning from World War II, many soldiers told stories of the loves they'd left behind. For some, it was a mechanical sweetheart, the European sports car. So the nation was primed for the debut of the 1953 Corvette, a fiberglass two-seater that was the first, mass-produced, American sports car. This first car was more show than go, but over the years, Corvette has evolved from a cute looking roadster to the menacing Sting Ray and now to one of the world's sleekest, sexiest and fastest high-tech sports cars. In addition to the main program, there are over 70 minutes of rarely see historical footage related to the Corvette and it's racing heritage.
