Reviewed factory-specification card summarizing the 1956 Corvette engine range, transmissions, axle ratios, suspension, and brakes. 1956 Chevrolet Corvette

Why It Matters

The 1956 Corvette mounted its fiberglass body to a boxed steel X-frame on a 102-inch wheelbase. Unequal-length front control arms, coil springs, tubular shocks, and a stabilizer bar worked with a live rear axle on semi-elliptic leaf springs and tubular hydraulic shocks. Restoration should preserve geometry, attachment points, and date-appropriate service components.
