Description
this car is original except for the interior . the 265 cu inch V8 has never been out of the car according to the owner. it has a four barrel carburetor that was added
The Chevrolet 265 V8 was first introduced in 1955 and was the first small block V8 ever produced by GM. The 265 was designed for the most part to save the Corvette from being chopped due to the fact that only 700 Corvettes were sold for the 1955 model year. People were looking for something stronger than the Chevy 235 which was only good for 150 horsepower. So in just a little less than 4 months the 265 went from the drawing board to a production engine. This impressive little small block V8 produced between 162 and 195 horsepower depending on the carburetor setup and greatly helped revive the numbers of sells for the Corvette.

Very nice capture - Could not comment yesterday - Renderosity was not reachable for hours!
Nice shot of a beautiful car. Mom and dad had a 57 which burned to the ground on our way back from church one Sunday.
I always preferred the 55 and 56 over the 57 myself, what a beauty.
Excellent capture!
