Default 789 Chevy

What do you get when you combine the styling & looks of 1957, 1958 & 1959 Chevys with a modern day Corvette?

You get a 789 Chevy....

I guess they made at least two of these. Here is a picture of one taken at a local car show. Turns out that the owner lives a few miles from me. He owns a really nice '57 Chevy and had talked to me about getting an older Corvette. Guess he decided on this instead. Not exactly my cup of tea though.

I would hate to see a real classic (or group of them) modified into one of these...but it looks bad-*** and I'd love to see them for sale as a new product.
