A very nice pair for a local show.
That would be my dream '53 right there, unrestored. Can't be very many left like that anymore.

Parked next to a 53 today at a local Corvette car show , One vary nice guy owned it and had a great talk or BS time . Remembered riding in it when he was younger and later bought it . One thiny he showed me was the air cleaners original and have no marking or logo ever on them. It was 99% original 53 unrestored , he added a 57 hood while fixing the correct one.

Looks like you had a great time.
More and more at car shows I've been having a great time too,talking to people that also had early Corvettes.
This year they'll be an empty spot for a 54 Corvette and owner that was always out at the shows and drove his 54 all over the USA.Jim past last November.Leaving a lot of great memories behind.
