Corvette 60 Year Anniversary Embroidered Patch – 4 3/4″ Wax Backing with a Merrowed Edge – NHRA – Hot Rod – Muscle Car 1953-2013

The Chevrolet Corvette debuted as a concept “dream car” in 1953 at the General Motors Motorama show in New York. Following this, 300 Corvettes were hand built at GM’s Flint, MI factory, releasing to the public on June 30, 1953. American drivers immediately fell for this sleek performance-focused vehicle, and we never looked back.

The first-generation Corvette was in production from 1953 – 1962. Following the success of the 1953 debut, production of the 1954 Corvette moved from Flint, MI to St. Louis, MO. In 1956, the Corvette was redesigned, featuring exposed headlights, rolled up windows, sculpted side coves, and, for the first time, a removable hardtop. From 1960 – 1962, the Vette was again restyled with rounded rear fenders, taillights formed into the fenders, and a bold grille that sported heavy “teeth.”
