New C1 Owner

Just wanted to say hi. I'm the proud new owner of a C1, 1954 Polo White Corvette. She's in the shop right now getting checked out and fine tuned and I'm way beyond excited to get out on the road. It's always been a dream of mine to have a classic Vette and my hubby made it come true for my birthday. What a lucky girl am I!!!

Looking forward to spending some time in here.

No it's not. Everything is original but the motor. Now it's a Chevy 283.

Wow. Only 3640 were made in 54. I bet there's less than a handful in Hawaii now. Congrats & welcome to CF

My husband had it shipped in. I looked at the Corvette club membership list and no one on it has anything older than a 60's. I've never seen a 50's since I've been here. I'll post some pics once I get it from the mechanic.

OK - nice car - I doubt many have an original almost 60 year old engine!
