with the standard single-four-barrel
V-8, though the underhood photo in his
article shows a fuel-injected engine. Our
guess is the engine shot came from a
different car.)
It seems Wherry’s time behind the
wheel was brief, as he was limited to
evaluating the Corvette at the GM
Proving Grounds. But it was enough
to come away with some very posi-
tive impressions of the new car. The
Corvette’s four-speed was “smooth as
silk” and its shifter “exceptionally handy.”
The bucket seats were “as comfortable
as you could wish for.” Dual reflectors
inside each door were “perhaps one of
the most intelligent standard items of
new vintage.” The Corvette’s handling,
“like all recent Corvettes,” was
“without fault.”
Even the car’s styling, he felt, was
“kept in line with the dreams of enthu-
siasts.” As long as those enthusiasts
dream of lots of sparkly chrome. VETTEVETTEWEB.COM 11
