The 1957 Corvette has nearly identical styling to the ’56 though this would be the last year of the single headlights. The engine was pumped up to 283 cubic inches, and fuel injection became a factory option. A four-speed manual transmission became available in the Spring of that year, which helped to better control the engine’s 290 hp.
At the time, Chevrolet’s advertising agency used the slogan, “One horsepower per inch.” All of mathematicians have realized that this would equate to 283 hp, but the 290 hp is correct when equipped with fuel injection. Chevrolet actually marketed this motor on the conservative side. This year, the Corvette could also be ordered “ready-to-race” with special options, some of which included: a 283 hp engine with the Fresh Air and Tach Package, Heavy-Duty Suspension, and 15�5.5-inch wheels.
