OT - Unless you like old Corvettes

I've always loved early vettes. Here's some photos from the NCRS meet today.

1956-57

This one's my favorite because I get to ride shotgun all the time.
It's my brothers car, Aztec Copper, dual quads and a stick

 

Thanks for the pics,love that black fuelly.I think the "boss"mighy appreciate these.

 

No problem here, very nice. I'm a bit of a Corvette fan myself. Of all the C1, or pre-Stingray cars, I find the '57 the most aesthetically pleasing. There's just nothing about it styling-wise that could have been done better. It had just enough of everything without too much of anything.

 

I'd like to have the tach in that one pic. Sweet.

 

i love the black one... soon as i get this 32 done i'm starting on my 57 fuely black with red guts not sure if i'll go dog dish caps or vintage kidney beans. i like both looks

 

how bad would you like that tach??? this nos tach $3000.00

 

1958-62

 

Corvette with poverty caps...gotta love it. If it came with 'caps, it was actually used the way Zora intended.

1963-67

 

Love 1st Gen Vettes, Had a 59 and a 62 back in the the 60's and 70's. Until these cars became more or less show only I never saw one equipped with dogdish hubcaps. They are fun drivers and as simple as they come. Your brothers car looks great.

thanks for posting the pics.

 

Awsome pictures !! They all have nice lines!!

 

Man, there were a ****load of solid axle fuelie cars there eh? Never seen so many in one place. Thanks for posting the pics.

I love old Vettes by the way!

Thanks for the great pics. Friend of mine has a 63' split window he bought brand new. Paid $3600. 327 and 4 spd.
Funny, I went to a corvette and cl***ic show. All the cl***ics were being cleaned by the guys. The corvettes were being cleaned by the guys wives. Guess I'm gonna have to get a Vette......

 

Never off topic here, I love the early Vette's. Thank you for the pictures. My neighbor has a '57 that he drives the **** out of - Autocross, track day at Laguna Seca, Drag days, Etc. It's not un-common to see him drive it to a race and pull it home on his car dolly after breaking it.

Thanks Again,
Tim

 

I dig em. Especially the ones w/poverty caps. Gives em a hard look

 

Those small hubcap cars make me want to do very bad things to own one!!!

 

DAMN!

Why do C1s haunt me forever.

Someday.........................................

 

I always enjoyed rollin in the old ones.

 

Makes me wanna write bad checks! When I was still in elementary school, my buddy's uncle had a white '56 or 7 with pie crusts, don't recall the type of mags, but that ****er looked baaddd!

 

Your brother's '57 is NICE! Great color combination. Thanks for the pics. I'm almost done with my '63 SWC. Red/black, 327, 4 speed.

This looks excactly like my 57'.


But I had electric windows... They were supposedly "Stock" but I never heard of that for 57 Vettes! (Any way of finding out the production numbers with electric windows!?!?!?)

 

My old man had a nice '61 with 2x4bl. Long story, but his transfer of the car led to my purchase of my '66 E-Type...

Awesome stuff!

 

wingnutz..
The Corvette Black Book lists only 379 vettes with power windows. Out of 6,339 cars only 487 were Arctic Blue. So you have a really rare combo. The one in the photo has power windows and power top, and he's the original owner.

 

Had a 55 in the 57s long beach cops stopped me everyweek just to check me out sold it & bought a 56 bird problem solved. Here is my current 66 327/350Hp red on red

 

I thought everyone here would enjoy these vettes. The L-88s sounded awesome when they brought them in.










This 57 fuelie is owned by Rick Hendrick

 

379 at a cost of $59. (edit: oops I didn't 327-365hp response pays to read the whole tread!)

I always liked the single colour vettes


With the stingray racer style rear, the '61 models are the best of the C1 vettes

 

I really enjoyed them and you brothers is super.

 

Great looking car Bob! I love the roadsters, especially red.

 

Thanks for the nice comments. I hope you post pics of your car. The best thing about my brothers car is he drives it alot, usually with the top off.
