Corvette garage

Black & Silver
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say his favorite colors are black & silver. Man, what a great bunch of Vettes. 
I hope he takes them out and plays with them, if not I can make myself available!

Yep. His first was the silver split window and the fascination with black and silver began there.
He said something about one of only a few black 57s. Seem to remember he couldnt document that it was originally was black but all indications were that it was (?)
He drives them, has a mechanic that works for him....he fired up the 67 BB and ZR1 while we were there....

TX63CONV,
The configuration of the garage leads me to believe that it used to be some type of repair facility before the current owner remodeled it to his liking. Do you have any info what the building use to be or is it at his home?

It is in a residential neighborhood...he bought two houses with pretty large lots and constructed this in the back. You would never know from the road.

the owner Michael is a member of our Tri Five club, he is a extremely nice down to earth guy unlike alot of folks who have aquired such a collection, he has done well and just loves Vettes and Chevys and done what alot of us would do if we could, BUY AS MANY AS WE CAN! .. here are feature stories on the '57 Vette and '55 Bel Air ..
