Vette came out in 53 or 54. It had same front bolt on suspension as the
standard Auto of that year and used that same set-up to 62. 63 was a new
product. I have gotten parts for a 54 I had that were from Vette parts
houses to fix/rebuild it. The steering center link was only diff thing on
Vette's, it was beefier.
