I have a 53 corvette it's all original and it's fiberglass. 1953 was the first year of production for the Corvette, all production Corvettes were, and are still made out of fiberglass. There was a Corvette made out of aluminum, but it was strictly built to be a race car, and I believe that only one was made. The only other exception would have to be the current Z 06 super Corvette that has some carbon fiber body panels, and the frame is made of aluminum, instead of steel.
