Legend persists that sports car owners have to be automotive tinkerers. But with a Corvette that's not necessarily true. All one needs to do, to enjoy a Corvette, is sit there and drive. Who'd want to fool around with such a magnificently self-sufficient V8 engine anyway? Corvettes are for people who get a kick out of getting there. Even those who don't like driving find that driving a Corvette is another matter altogether. This automobile has proved itself in every kind of automotive competition, and 1961 brings it to you in its most refined form, with an impressively wide selection of luxury and performance equipment. City and country alike abound in streets and roads that are lying dormant, awaiting the magic touch of a Corvette. Drop into your Chevy dealer's and see how fast you can awaken those roads and sample some real fun and excitement.

For every Corvette owner who regularly runs in sports car rallies, there's one who uses his Corvette exclusively for bread-and-butter transportation. The Corvette rings a kind of pleasure to each man's driving that he couldn't get anywhere else. It can take the unpleasantness out of heavy rush traffic, just the way it turns an ordinary country road into something very special. Why? Because few cars from this or any other country can come remotely close to it for flashing performance, good handling and hair-trigger responsiveness. Don't take our word for this; drive one. Unless you're accustomed to driving sports cars in the ten to fifteen thousand dollar category, you'll be absolutely astonished. The Corvette is an outstanding combination of performance and luxury that really belies its relatively low price. With extra-cost options like Powerglide and electric windows or with Fuel Injection and four-speed Synchro-Mesh transmission, it's really something! Try one. The feeling it imparts will make you chuckle with pleasure, just driving the son-of-a-gun around the block.

Wherever it goes, whatever the occasion, its driver will have more fun, and heaviest traffic will seem like a relaxing Sunday promenade with an old friend. It's a 1961 Corvette, and it's just the nature of the machine to make things seem that way. The Corvette is for any good driver who wants a car that's as good as he is; it's a first-class automobile and it'll stir up a man's driving pleasure just the same way it turned production sports car competition upside down and made it a private playground. The best thing about the Corvette is that its racehorse performance in no way compromises maximum go-anywhere comfort and reliability. So, follow that Corvette (if you can); you're going to like it. We know, because we've been there.

Driving to work in the morning and making the run home at night, he's the most carefree man on the street. Why should this be? In basic terms, a Corvette is little different from other cars. Stiffer suspension maybe, more efficient brakes, a lot more acceleration....But where's the romance, the excitement we talk about? Here's where: It's the high pitched sound of that lovely V8 engine in full song...the feel of the sun on the back of your neck as you swing out of the parking lot and point that powerful machine toward home....It's anything you do in a Corvette, even if it might have been dull in other, lesser cars. Heck, Corvette people can get as much kick out of driving to work as some of us get from a trip to Europe!
