About This Item

58 vette

The Chevrolet Corvette (C1) is the first generation of the sports car by the Chevrolet division of General Motors introduced late in the 1953 model year and produced through 1962. It is commonly referred to as the "solid-axle" generation, as the independent rear suspension did not appear until the 1963 Sting Ray. The Corvette was rushed into production for its debut model year to capitalize on the enthusiastic public reaction to the concept vehicle, but expectations for the new model were largely unfulfilled. Reviews were mixed and sales fell far short of expectations through the car's early years. The program was nearly canceled, but Chevrolet would ultimately stay the course.

In an era of chrome and four headlamps, the Corvette succumbed to the look of the day. The 1958 model year and the four that followed all had the exposed four-headlamp treatment and prominent grills, but a faux-louvered hood and chrome trunk spears were unique to 1958. The interior and instruments were updated, including placing a tachometer directly in front of the driver. For the 1958 model only, an 8000 rpm tachometer was used rather than the 6000 and rpm units typical in 1955. Optional engine choices included two with twin carburetors (including a 270 hp model with Carter 2613 and 2614 WCFB four-barrels) and two with fuel injection. Power output for the highest rated fuel-injected engine was 290 hp. Displacement remained 283 cu in. For the first time, seat belts were factory-installed rather than being dealer-installed as on previous models. Rare options were RPO 684 heavy-duty brakes and suspension, RPO 579 250 hp engine, 15 by 5.5 in. wheels.

This TB number is a reissue of a TB that went missing a couple years ago. Please help this TB travel from cache to cache and be sure to properly log it in and out of geocaches.

Drip Drip: It started raining as we pulled up. How appropriate. We went down the slope towards the creek and looked around the pipe. Lots of trash! Expanded our search. Read some logs. Many were saying it was a quick park and grab. What? Then when we got back to the car we saw it. Don’t look at the hint or the other pictures. They’ll throw you off. Also, you can make this grab in heels.

Observation Required (SD15): since Fry’s is closed there are fences around the parking lot. Thankfully, we were able to walk outside the fence and still reach the cache. Not only did we find the cache but a tiny jumping spider as well. So cute.

L.U.M.P. #3-What is She Saying?: I had a friend that always mixed up sayings. “Walking on sea shells”, “ don’t count all your eggs in one basket”, etc. Got to GZ and it took quite awhile but with a little help, we found it. Keep in mind the D/T rating, but we found it on the parking lot-not street side.
