50 what???
I came across this little gem tonight here in the big metropolis of Clayton.... The guy that just purchased it was buying lug nuts of all things.. Each wheel could not have been held on by more than 2 lug nuts. He claimed it was a 53 so I asked which one? He said that one...
I said no, I mean out of the 300 made which one is this. He looked at me funny and said oh it's not a real Corvette. Now I was 
but he really didn't want to talk much because he was looking for lug nuts.
So I thought I would present it to the group to see what you guys thought. Now these are off my Blackberry so be kind about the photo quality. Never know what you're going to run into out here in the sticks...
I looked under the car and the frame was not what I expected but it was dark so I don't know what he had there... Then after getting the lug nuts on you can see the boxes in the trunk.. He put some UGLY *** hubcaps on that were purchased at the same location.. I wonder how far they made it...

How many other years of corvettes have been copied as many times as the 53-55?

That's funny.2 lug nuts each wheel.
Those Auto Zone spinner hubcaps will not compliment the car. I'd rather see the bare steel wheels.
I remember a 53 Corvette kit running around my old hometown over 25 years ago.
