Chevy Corvette 1955 Exterior, interior, Blue Flame and V8 Motor

1955 saw the introduction of the V8 engine, replacing the underpowered "Blue Flame" straight-6. The first seven 55's off the production line did however feature the in-line 6. Aside from the engine, the 1955 model can be differentiated by its logo—the "V" in Corvette is enlarged and gold colored, signifying the V8 engine under the hood.
