The Oldest Corvette In The Uk.

The club have been approached by GM in the hope of finding the oldest Chevy,s in the UK.
We are fairly sure that the oldest CHEVY will not be a Corvette, but GM are looking to locate and find the oldest vehicles here in the UK.
This is because GM are celebrating their 100th year.
So one and all, if you know of a Corvette or other model of Chevy that may well be the vehicles in question please do a post or drop me a line.Hope we can help GM out on this one.
Many thanks in advance.

Above is a '32 I've seen at a couple of local shows...?

Corvette wise? I'm guessing at Alfies '54 is a contender?

They want to do full history write ups of the cars and owners, as far as I understand.

Re: The Oldest Corvette In The Uk.

If its the oldesr chevrolet Corvette collector then Mr John Mayes
1965 fuelie roadster
1965 C10 pickup
1966 427 roadster that could be Spainish show car
1966 427 coupe prize winner
1967 coupe and roadster
1991 ZR1 and a 1969 coupe ''Hotrod'' vette.
still as a thread above shows 1954 vette is way earlier.

If Chevy contact the VSCC they'll get some from the 1920's and maybe earlier. Or Malcolm Elder will have something appropriately vintage.
