1956 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible - 265/225HP Dual Quad, Powerglide Offered for sale is a beautifully restored 1956 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible powered by the desirable 265ci/225hp dual-quad V8, paired with a Powerglide automatic transmission. This highly optioned example benefits from an older restoration that still presents exceptionally well, finished in stunning Red with White coves over a Beige interior and matching Beige power folding top. The 1956 model year marked the first major facelift of the C1 generation and transformed the Corvette into a true convertible. The earlier recessed grille-covered headlights were replaced with exposed headlights, the side chrome spear was removed in favor of elegant scalloped coves, and the rear received integrated taillights with a cleaner trunk design. Chevrolet also introduced proper roll-up side windows and an improved convertible top - with a power-operated top available as an option. With just 3,467 Corvettes produced in 1956, this remains one of the rarest early production years and highly sought after by collectors. Under the hood sits the legendary 265 cubic inch V8 equipped with dual 4-barrel carburetors, delivering 225 horsepower. Smooth shifting comes courtesy of the Powerglide automatic, offering effortless cruising while maintaining authentic mid-1950s performance character. This example is well equipped with factory options including: Heater, AM radio, Courtesy lights, Windshield washer system, Whitewall tires, Dual carburetors, Power folding convertible top, Two-tone paint. The beige interior reflects the classic mid-century Corvette design, featuring the updated 1956 steering wheel and revised shifter placement atop the transmission hump. A rare and highly collectible early C1 Corvette finished in one of the most iconic color combinations of the era. This is an excellent opportunity to own a beautifully optioned 1956 model that represents a pivotal year in Corvette history. EXTERIOR: ? Red with White coves ? Beige power folding soft top ?
