S.O Corvette
In addition to replying to forum members, I’ve been trying to navigate NCRS. I feel a little overwhelmed with pass words, rules......,but I’m very hopeful and very thankful for all who have advised or encouraged.
i wish I’d found this forum a year ago.

S.O. = Shop Order. Used when a production vehicle was modified at/by GM Stying (aka GM Design) in the 50's-early 60's that tracked the car internally via the S.O. number and the S.O plate riveted to the hood opening; there was a file at Styling for each S.O. number that described in great detail exactly what was done to the car, usually with photographs.
Werner Meier, the Chairman of the Michigan NCRS Chapter, is very familiar with the S.O. process - he has researched and restored many S.O. vehicles.

Was there any chance the car spent some time in the Grand Rapids area? I casually knew a guy named Rick (who was quite a large fellow- I always wondered how he fit in it) back in the early 80's who had a '56 with the same color combo. I can't remember his last name right now, but it will come to me. I want to say he might have had it in Traverse City during the summer.
