By the time the 1955 Corvette Convertible rolled out, advances in motor engines increased the performance of the car. Drivers who demanded more from there car than just good looks, now had a V-8 under the hood of their 1955 Corvette Convertible. Now drivers could hit the road powered by a higher performing engine.

This more powerful version of the 1955 Corvette is as bit of a hit with Corvette soft top car collectors as it was in the 1950's with the original buyers. Classic convertibles in used but very good or mint condition are popular with collectors who want to feel the wind through their hair at a decent speed. After all, a convertible is a sports car and sports cars are not designed for people who like to enjoy life in the slow lane.
