Thanks Kevin. A 54 Corvette! That would have the "Blue Flame 6 cylinder in it. With three carbs and I think a three speed trans.They didn,t come out with the 265 V-8 until 55. What a great car..very sexy

Dave, you are proving how young you are. We fifties types know that a '54 Corvette was only available with a two speed Powerglide. I understand that the Powerglide platform is used for some serious racing, but I have no idea how they do it.

Wow, Your kidding right? You couldn,t get a standard trans in a 54 Corvette? I learned something new today thanks Bill..


Ok, Now I got it.I just googled the 54 Corvette. The 3 speed wasn,t available until late in 55 coupled to that monster 265..
