Corvette Based Show Car from Amelia Island
 

Saw this car at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance March 15. While not a C6, I thought it would be of interest to all of us, not just the C1 group. I also posted there.

This is a recreation of the 1954 Chevrolet show car named Corvair. As you can see it is based on a Corvette with a small block V8. I have never heard of the Corvair show car before and I am surprised that the name was repurposed in 1959 for Chevrolet's economy car.

Sweet

:lurk:

That place has apparently grown over the years. I used to live on Amelia Island many years ago. It was just an old plantation type town back then. But very nice people.

I remember the Corvair but have not seen a lot of them. How long were they made do you know?
