In 1955 the Corvette was available with either the "bluestreak" 235 CI 6 ot
the new 265 V-8 the 350 was a ways in the future :)

Turns out that the first couple of 'vettes

two-speed automatic transmission -- it took a while to evolve. I don't
recall for sure, but think it's likely those were metal.

Don't know about the body but it had virtually the same 6 cyl
engine and transmission as my uncle's 1955 Chevy Bel Aire.
Chevy introduced the V8 (350 in^3?) in 1956 and that's when
it went into the Corvette and into all those Chevys that broke
all the records that year.
