Over the last 50-years, this rare historical press release (click to read pg-1 of 4) was never published in any book or magazine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538f24f8e4b0da52007e4baf/1409766424471-UICQJ4KHVZ9FJ50T60N9/Corvette+C-1+in+mid-1950s+Chevrolet+Studio Corvette History This photo above (notice original full-size Corvette rendering cross promoting new '55 Chevy) shows how GM began leveraging the new Corvette brand to sell other Chevrolet products from the very beginning. Why? Because the sports car was an overnight sensation in the public eye and hence a huge promotional home run for GM. The first Corvette came to life in the Chevy Studio of GM Styling at the Argo Bldg. in downtown Detroit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538f24f8e4b0da52007e4baf/1409848956130-CTZB2NWM7FXXF2SQIWWP/HJEKeating+Corvette3a.jpg Corvette History In as far as important new concepts (like the '54 Corvair sister of the Corvette featured above), Harley dealt directly with the Chevrolet Division's high boss, Tom Keating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538f24f8e4b0da52007e4baf/1565314717741-B1XHW74T8ZD9GSUTAHS6/tom+keatingDS.jpg Corvette History Thomas Keating with Diane Shore at the Motorama. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538f24f8e4b0da52007e4baf/1410041546519-WRYTD50XAEHTV9UKXM92/HJEKeating+Corvette6y.jpg Corvette History '54 Chevy Corvette Corvair "fast back" design. Afterwards, Harley's vision was to do for the Buick division what he’d just done for Chevrolet and he created the two seater Wildcat II. Since Buick had bigger engines than Chevy, the Wildcat II, pictured below offered a V-8! Of course Harley had no intentions for this recipe to stop with just two of GM's "Fabulous Five Brands" so he continued and developed other high performance vehicles (you could call them GM's first post WW II muscle cars) by creating La Espada and El Camino for the Cadillac luxury brand; Oldsmobile had the F-88 and Harley and his team of design engineers at GM Styling gave Pontiac the Bonneville Special. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538f24f8e4b0da52007e4baf/1409861085673-3MJR0QY1HNMVFL1GEWEK/Corvette+and+the+Wildcat+were+same+breed%3A+GM%27s+new+muscle+cars Corvette History The 1954 Buick Wildcat II dream car helped launch the "muscle car" theme and/or offering inside Detroit's modern auto world. Most of Earl's custom Motorama show cars boasted V-8s, and the auto writer Art Lauring's comment nails it, “the Wildcat II is propelled by a 220-h.p. engine that boasts four carburetors with flame arresters.” published in the L.A.

This news writer reports the Corvette is probably a year away and will be built in steel, when in fact Keating knows his Chevrolet Div. is only four months away from launching America's first volume production sports car and it's going to be built from a revolutionary new composite, Fiberglass. GM's leaders knew how it was best having a veil of secrecy before, during and after the launch. It also helped to create more mystique behind a product. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538f24f8e4b0da52007e4baf/1410039120657-R6ZGFQEGQFQ019JG87W2/Harley+Earl+Corvette+designs+of+1954 Corvette History This full-page ad in the Los Angeles Examiner demonstrates HJE's first Chevrolet car design for the bowtie division back in '27, with flapper girls, and 26-years later he's releasing modern well-engineered vehicles most Americans find, "drop-dead gorgeous" and are a quantum leap from any production cars made in the 1920s! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538f24f8e4b0da52007e4baf/1410190684856-M4GLWVX5DP2CT28RE0ZQ/Auto+Engineer+Harley+Earl Corvette History There's a mountain of evidence (news stories like this one), from the 1920s into the 1960s factually demonstrating, in and outside of GM, H.J.
