This 2 page article appeared in
the September 1956 issue of Motor Life magazine authored by Art Dean. None

it at speed, and still with the license plate mounted. |

This is 1956 VIN# 1522, a production Corvette built
in St. Louis in May 1956 and then modified by the Chevrolet R&D Center
as the SR-2 (Sebring Racer-2). About two months later it is entered into
the June 24 Road America race as #144 driven by Dick Thompson and Harley's
son, Jerry Earl. It finished 16th. |
