1955 Chevrolet Corvette 'What Do You Mean Practical?' Advertisement
Approximately 8 x 10.5 inches.
This 1955 Chevrolet Corvette advertisement captures the early marketing approach for America's first true sports car during its crucial second production year. The ad addresses skeptics with the provocative headline 'What do you mean, practical?' and goes on to defend the Corvette's sporting credentials with detailed copy about its fiberglass body, triple-carburetor Blue-Flame Six engine, and Powerglide transmission. The sophisticated illustration shows both interior details and the complete convertible, reflecting the careful positioning of this revolutionary American sports car that would become an automotive icon.
