There's Sweet, and then There's This...
Here's a picture of Ed Swaneck's 1957 and 2007 Corvettes. Ed is the gentleman who repairs the mirrors that break away and flop in the wind on the 97-early 98 C5's. Notice where they're parked. Is this cool or what?! He actually walked the 2007 down the assembly line and got to sign the bell housing and the frame during the assembly. It took 10 hours and he says it was a dream come true. But here's the kicker: both cars have the same exact VIN numbers! He said it took 2 years to get the factory to do so! Factory manager Will Cooksey said that they never follow VIN numbers, only job numbers.
This is truly a one of a kind and Ed said that I could share it with the forum. It's a real warm and fuzzy thing that if you could give as a present, it would be on someone's 50th anniversary of marriage. This is just way cool and I had to share. It actually chokes me up a tad. Geesh, I'm getting sentimental in my semi-old age!
One of a kind photo. You gotta love it.
