This is what formed my little impressionable mind.
This is my Dad's car. Its a 1958 Corvette. It nearly got me killed at least once. It has a full hard top that Dad had leaned up against the side of the garage. Well I guess at the age of about 5 years old I managed to knock it over. It received a couple of scratches that you can still see to this day. Apparently my mother feared for my hide as she had me stay in my room when Dad got home from work that day. She broke the news to him but kept him from me for a period of time sufficient for him to not completely tear me apart.
My mother actually remembers going for groceries in this regularly. Some times in the snow. It has been a part of the family longer than the family itself.
Dad got this car when he was in college. He was the 3rd owner, it was only about 6-8 years old at the time. He paid $1000.00. It still sits in its original paint. My Dad has a tendency to get attached to things, too many things maybe. This is one thing I am thankful that he has clung to.
I LOVE THIS CAR!
For the guys: It was originally sold as a base model vette. It had the 283 but Dad (not thinking long term value) swapped in a 327 with dual quads, a four speed and rear axle out of a 62 vette.
She drives like a truck but actually has some pretty darn good giddy-up!
