Default Remember 57 Corvette?

Anybody in or near Pacifica, CA remember an orange 57 Corvette? It was there since the late 60s, and maybe even longer. It was nothing special, just a street hot rod. It was owned by Vicki L. Vela in the early 70 and she sold it in late 75 to a gentleman in Pacifica.
Thanks,
Rex
