^ The Corvette Marketing folks should take a white C7 Vert to that exact spot together with a female model who's appearance closely resembles the beauty in the original photo, and 'recapture' the same. What a great 60th photo comparison for advertising that would be !!

Great photo and would be a good spot for both a '53 and a '13 - and even throw in a C7 for good measure as a link to the future.
