ck out that magneto..

 

It gives me a little spark.

 

Todd and Buzz after the surgery?

 

Chet Carter Starter for Fremont Drag Strip he kept everybody in line.

 

I'll admit, with all there is to see in this shot, I think I looked at it about 6 times before I realized the 'Vette is RHD!

 

Same car...

 

Bobby Davalos Chevron station and garage Albuquerque, NM. The car in the middle was recently discovered in a junk yard and has been restored to its look when raced in the late '50s and early '60s. The Iron Borgan.

 

According to the WWWebs no righthand Corvettes were ever made until the current C8.
Perhaps the photo(s) were simply flipped for some reason. At least one of the added photos by our Swedish friend isn't flipped and the background looks to be classic USA (may possibly be Texas?).

 

I don't believe the photo is flipped as well the gas filler is on the left side.

 

Hey, good catch on the gas filler. (I should have caught that. My daily driver was made in Australia, factory converted to LHD for the USA, so I know all about the filler on the passenger side.)
Apparently, Chevy never made any RHD Corvettes from the factory but conversions were occasionally done elsewhere. Can't be many of those around anywhere.
I found this link to a 1959 home-brewed RHD conversion that has a lot of interesting photos to scroll through.......
