Forget the Corvette — This American Sports Car Came First

#corvette #americancars #musclecar Name the first American sports car. If you said the Corvette, you're in good company, and you're also wrong. Two full years before the first Corvette rolled off the line in Flint, Michigan, there was already an American sports car sitting in showrooms. It had a British chassis, an Italian body, and an engine borrowed from a company that built nothing but plain, sensible family sedans. Almost nobody remembers it today. The people who do tend to own one, and none of them are in a hurry to sell.
