Market commentary

No result reported. It's interesting to contemplate what this Corvette, with its class win at Sebring in 1956, means to the Corvette brand, not only by its victory but by the development work that went into producing many of the specialized performance parts that individual Corvette racers would employ in coming years to set Corvette apart in racing.
