Description
View of rows of 1957 Chevrolet Corvette cars parked in the lot of the Chevrolet factory in St. Louis, Missouri. Label on back: "Largest shipment yet of Corvettes equipped with Chevrolet's exclusive Ramjet fuel injection left the St. Louis plant of the company this week. The number, posed in the yard outside the assembly building, was (count 'em) fifty. They were destined for all parts of the country where demand for the model far exceeds the supply. Fuel injection, being pioneered by Chevrolet in its 1957 line, replaces the conventional carburetor and assures quicker, smoother accelerator response. With the device, Chevrolet's new 283 cubic inch V8 develops 283 horsepower." Handwritten on back: "Chevrolet, 1957."
