I have owned one Corvette, a 1965 convertible that I bought in 1973 for $2,100. Wish I still had that car today!

Technically 1933....Chevrolet offered a station wagon body, built on the 1/2 ton
truck frame. This model was specifically built for National Guard units and Civilian Conservation Corps units. Much of the body was constructed from wood, and could seat up to eight occupants.
...Consumer Use...1935
It was/is built on a truck frame.
The Corvette is a passenger car.
As history of namplates...
Suburban, of total vehicle nameplates, dates longer.
