Chevrolet Corvette EX-122 Motorama Concept '1952

:crazy:

A quick observation: the Motorama car can be distinguished by the side trim, where the "fin" points down. On the production cars the side trim fin points up.

I also just noticed that the Motorama car has external door buttons, which the production cars do not have.

The Motorama car still in existence, making it the oldest surviving Corvette (even older than the earliest known production car VIN 003).

Incidentally, those first 300 cars, built in Flint, were not built at the assembly plant proper.

There was a small brick building located on the northeast corner of the property, GM Assembly Research Center (GMARC), that was used to further experimental assembly and manufacturing techniques and allowed the installation of pre-production assembly lines.

Those cars were built in that facility. Sadly - it is no longer there, having been torn down a few years ago.

Brembo wows at Geneva with flashy calipers. They aren't production parts yet, but to have a little fun, Brembo brought to the 2019 Geneva Motor Show a display of brake calipers painted in a wide variety of colors and graphic schemes.
