Default 1957 Airbox featured on Velocity

In response to many of your requests, the Velocity channel will feature our 1957 Airbox Corvette in the premier episode of its new "ONE OF A KIND" series which will begin airing at 9:30 pm EST on Tuesday, January 3. For details, check out the show's Facebook page at facebook.com/oneofakindtv.

I haven't seen it yet, but it should be a good show---as they've spent a couple of years gathering materials for this Series.

Already have it set for TIVO in case I forget.

What happened to the 57 #P3 SEBRING Partridge car? No longer for sale on MECUM Auction site in January Florida auction.

Jim,

As to the #P3, who knows. May have been bought, or simply pulled.

Hi Tom,
I think they are planning to do a DVD of the whole year upon completion of the year 1 series. If so, we'll get you one. I think you already have a fair amount of material on the car and a DVD would complete your file.

Hope all is well, and that you're finding a little extra time to enjoy the Holidays.

Tom, if you ever had the HD Theatre channel before than Velocity is just the new name for that same channel.

Great news, Velocity (aka HD Theater) has been tormenting us with previews for years. I'm really looking forward to seeing this!

Supreme,

You may also want to check the car's website at 1957corvetteairbox.com for some additional information. Researching this car has been a never ending effort, with new material, photos and 16mm film coming to the surface on a regular basis---and that's after five years of searching.
