1954 Chevrolet Corvette C1 for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1954 Chevrolet Corvette C1 is a used car showing 70,010 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in Polo White with a Red interior.

It dates from 1954, the first year in which the Corvette was built in real numbers after the 300 hand-assembled cars of 1953, and it wears the classic Polo White with a red cabin. The car was first delivered in Nevada and received a complete body-off restoration in the 1990s.

The paint is tidy but not flawless, with the slight marks of age and use you would expect on a restoration of that vintage, and the dealer describes the car as running and working well, suited to relaxed touring as much as to club events. It reaches the market as a trade-in taken by Gallery Aaldering.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Chevrolet Corvette C1 Blue Flame uses the 235 cu in (3.9 L) Blue Flame straight-six with three Carter carburettors, rated at 150 hp SAE gross and 302 Nm, with the two-speed Powerglide automatic, the only gearbox offered in 1954. Its fibreglass body sits on a separate frame with a rigid rear axle on leaf springs. Production moved to St. Louis for 1954, when 3,640 identically equipped cars were built.

FAQ

This Chevrolet Corvette C1 in the European market

Is this Chevrolet priced above or below the European market?

At €69,500, it sits below the median of €79,500 for the 25 Chevrolet advertised in Europe in 2026. 24% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Chevrolet be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Chevrolet Corvette C1 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €2,383 in the United States, excluding options. This car is advertised at €69,500, 2816% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1954 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Chevrolet compare?

70,010 km recorded, against a median of 44,265 km across the Chevrolet advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Chevrolet are priced closest to this one?

a 1955 car in the Netherlands at €69,500, and a 2014 car in the United Kingdom at €68,386. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Chevrolet Corvette C1 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer.
