VIN #5, the fifth Corvette ever built and one of the first three examples ever sold to the public. 1 of a total of 300 produced for 1953 - approximately 225 still exist. Unique early production features. Painstakingly restored to NCRS Top Flight award-winning standards. Accompanied by copies of original sales invoices, GM correspondence and more. Among its many interesting features, Number 5 is the last Corvette produced without an outside rearview mirror, and it was one of the handful of early Corvettes fitted with a stainless steel VIN tag, as opposed to the later aluminum version. The car was also built with a chrome speaker grille, and Corvettes 4, 5 and 6 were the only 1953 models sold to the public with basic Chevrolet Bel Air Hubcaps. A fascinating document of Corvette's earliest transition from show car to production and as one of the first three Corvettes ever sold, it ranks as one of the most historically significant Corvettes in existence.
