1954 Chevrolet Corvette Offered as a buy-it-now. Make us an offer!

Only 4 Black cars were known to be produced in 1954. We are uncertain how to determine is this was one of them, but in any event Black is the rarest color seen on '54 Corvettes.
This is a very nice car with the correct triple carb set up and does have both tops, although the canvas on the convertible top will need replaced.
The car is very nice condition and runs and drives quite well. While not a show winning car it is a great driver quality example. It starts right up, shifts well, and stops well. We have recently serviced the car and it is ready for long distance summer cruising. The frame is completely solid and rust free, there is no cracking in the fiberglass, the chrome is very good to excellent, and the interior is quite nice.
If you have been looking for an affordable '54 Corvette you can drive and enjoy immediately and improve over time, this is a great candidate.

Cadillac was formed from the remnants of the Henry Ford Co when Henry Ford departed along with several of his key partners and the company was dissolved. With the intent of liquidating the firm's assets, Ford's financial backers,called in engineer Henry Leland to appraise the plant and equipment prior to selling them. Instead, Leland persuaded them to continue the automobile business using Leland's proven 1-cylinder engine. Henry Ford's departure required a new name, and the company reformed as the Cadillac Automobile Company.
The Cadillac automobile was named after the 17th century French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, founder of Detroit in 1701.
Cadillac helped to define advanced engineering, luxury and style early in Automotive History and would come to be known as one of the world’s finest made vehicles. Precision manufacturing of truly interchangeable parts was an award-winning industry first in 1908. Cadillac was the first manufacturer to release cars with a fully enclosed cab as factory equipment in 1910. Standard electric engine starting and lighting was another award winner for 1912. Cadillac introduced the first production V8 engine for the 1914 model year. Cadillac was the first manufacturer to utilize the skills of a designer to produce a car's body instead of an engineer (1927). This gave the public a car that looked as good as it performed. Cadillac's engineers were first to design a manual transmission with synchronizers for increased drivability (1929) and were instrumental in the early development of the automatic transmission, beginning in 1932. Cadillac offered a production V16 engine from 1930 through 1940 and introduced the production independent wishbone front suspension in 1934. The marque introduced tailfins for 1948. From the late 1960s onward, Cadillac offered a fiber-optic indication system which alerted the driver of a failed light bulb. Our Ebay Policies:
