    A Few Weeks After Boldly Boasting To Chevrolet Executives In Pebble Beach That A Couple Of Magazine Guys Could Road Race A Corvette Better Than The Midwestern Based Factory Team Performed In Its First SCCA Event, GM Delivered A Special One To HRM Staffers Racer Brown (seated) And Bob D’Olivo. After A Disappointing Initial Outing On Original Tires, Bob Pollack Won Regularly In California Sports Car Club Compe***ion, While **** Thompson Earned Enough Combined SCCA Points Driving Both The Eastern And Western Cars To Bring Corvette Its First National Championship.

    As much as I like Vettes I would not mind to be able to take one of the gullwings home. I worked on a couple of them in the 80s and they are a pretty cool car (but not in the real sense in a race such as that-I have driven in them in the heat and they are a tad hot inside).

    The value of the three cars in that front row is a tad staggering. Just cars you could beat on back then albeit decent racing cars.

    Reacting To Internal Rumors That GM Management Was Considering Cancelling His Pet Program In The Wake Of Disappointing 1953 ’55 Sales, Zora Arkus Duntov Proposed A Crash Racing Program To Attract Attention And Inspire Customer Enthusiasm. Ed Cole Approved, Directing Chevrolet Engineering To Prepare ’56 Models With Matching Paint Schemes For Ex Mercedes Star John Fitch, Betty Skelton, And Zora Himself. Strong Showings Both Here And At The Sebring 12 Hours Were Widely Credited For The Sudden Sales Uptick That Literally Saved The Corvette.

    With Zora At The Wheel, Chevrolet’s “experimental” Entry Topped 150 Mph One Way, Averaging 147.300 For Both Directions. The Trick Tonneau, Headrest, And Tail Fin Were Fibergl***.

    I agree some cool shots. Like the Grand Sport shot above (#36 on the unique louvered GS hood). Also really like the SR shot that was posted by Rootie originally.

    Working back underneath the dash of mine today. At one point I thought I was stuck. You have no idea what it is like wearing a Corvette as a belt. It is quite scary. :)
