American veterans came home from World War II with money in their pockets and small sports cars from Europe for their garages. The legendary GM designer Harley Earl noticed this trend, but he wasn't the first. Nash Motors had already started working with the British automaker Donald Healey and Italian design company Pininfarina to build pricey sports cars. Earl took a different tack, convincing his GM bosses that the automaker needed an all-American two-seater sports car to compete. He got the nod, and his Special Projects team went to work in 1951 to create GM's first two-seater since the Chevrolet Master in 1938.
The Chevrolet Corvette was born as Project Opel, and its first hand-built prototypes were shown to the public in 1953 at the General Motors Motorama at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. Production started six months later and has led to a continual evolution of what's become "America's Sports Car." A car with that kind of history will naturally generate a lot of collectible models, throw in a cult-like following, extreme high-performance versions and special editions, and you have a recipe for some costly cars being bought at auctions. These are the most expensive so far.
