Vehicle Story
A black eye, a few teeth knocked out and an aging body was the initial assessment of this otherwise complete and original 1957 Corvette. The crew at Steve’s Auto Restorations massaged the body and treated it to several custom touches including the addition of a ’53 windshield frame, custom fabricated door caps and a C2 stinger inspired hood. Custom bumpers and chrome plated trim pieces adorn the sleek bodylines which are now dressed in a beautiful custom Crème de menthe pearl. An Art Morrison chassis anchors everything to the road while a 430hp GM Performance LS3 and 5-speed spin the one-off C2 Turbine inspired aluminum wheels. This refined show-stopping Corvette is now a refreshing blend of fifties styling and 21st century performance.
