Lessee now...I grew up hearing that the 1953 was a half-year model that came only in white, underpowered with a straight six & `Blue Flame’ carburetors, had those chain link headlight guards, but that the 1954 was identical only up-engined with a V-8.
And now I much prefer sitting upright in my minivan while the young folks are lying stretched out flat in their Corvettes about an inch from the pavement. It’s called getting older.

“And now I much prefer sitting upright in my minivan while the young folks are lying stretched out flat in their Corvettes about an inch from the pavement. It’s called getting older.”
And I have a friend age 66, who is getting back in a few days from a 75 day tour of the USA, in his 2014 Corvette convertible.
He and his wife pack make do with the clothes and laptop he can fit into the trunk.
They have done it before, and love it.
A minivan wouldn’t work for me, but a nice high performance sport sedan or wagon sure would.
BTW the Vette wagon Nomad upthread is very, very cool.
