Safety Car
I helped the brother in Durango, CO discover the history. The car created a lot of excitement when the estate sale appeared in Craigslist. There was a 54 Corvette and other cars and a bunch of parts.
This is a neat 1957 Corvette. Only 6339 were made. How many rust free, whole cars are left?
