The baby boom explosion after WWII caused tremendous need for new schools and school buses. While almost every car and truck maker vied for this new school bus business, the majority choice was the 8-passenger Chevrolet Suburban. The reasons for this were experience, reliability, and safety. Chevrolet invented the Sport-Utility Vehicle in 1935 with the production of the first Suburban. This vehicle was the first, and for years, the only all-steel body in its class. With this experience, the safety of the all-steel body and the reliable 216.5 cubic inch 90 horsepower engine, Chevrolet was able to regain the #1 sales position from Ford.

The car was produced for General Motors, an American company, to get into the sports car market that was dominated by European car companies. The car, nicknamed the C1, was in production from 1953 till 1962. This time the numbering system for Corvettes was introduced. This style of the car was named the C1.The first Corvette wasn't exactly a 'muscle' car when it debuted, it only cranked 150 horsepower when pushed to the limits. In 1955, Chevrolet introduced a V8 engine for the Corvette. With the new engine, the company failed to sell even 700 models that year. The decision was made to either drop the Corvette from the production line or to redesign it because disappointing sales. The Corvette was redesigned and released in 1956. The new redesigned Corvette was more accepted. The Company dropped the six-cylinder, 150 horsepower engine from the new model and the V8 became the standard engine.
