I love the '56 - '57 Corvette. They're the most refined of the coved Corvettes. The color combo on this one is the icing on the cake. Great pics Tony.

Completely agree on the refinement of the 'cove'ed Corvettes' John!

Another nice color combo was our LECC FM '57 in Inca Silver:

Great pictures of a terrific style Corvette. I have all of the mints' Corvettes except the Astro Vette. One question I have wondered when the club  Vette came out is why the front license plate bracket was omitted? This bracket was standard on these Vettes and not an option.

I agree on the Inca Silver '57 Tony.  With the Red interior it is perfect.

Well that is certainly a perfect way to start (I am sure will be many) Corvette posts. These two gems are beyond outstanding and sit in my collection. 

And George, the 1st one you get will be probably be the only one that will hurt, after that, they will flow into your collection so easily, you will be amazed how easy it gets. LOL!
