As much as we love the Corvette, you should avoid early-to-mid 1950 models. They were plagued with a ton of production issues and lacked the V8 engine option. Post 1957 cars however, are a completely different story. The sleek body received a massive facelift and the addition of a great, big American V8 under the hood. Prices depend on the engine, trim level and condition, but an example in great shape will set you back over $100k.
