True Automotive History in my lifetime!

Love it or hate it, not many on the fence, I’m definitely a lover! This car debuted in the 1953 Motorama held at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel, a year after I was born. Unlike me, the Chevrolet Corvette is still going strong after all these years. I actually had this Danbury replica but sold it with the rest of my Corvette collection and have always regretted it. I have since recovered the ‘53, the ‘56, and the silver ‘59, three of my favorites. I just completed the purchase of this EX 122 concept which is actually nicer than the one I sold, being that it’s new in the box with all docs, and the seller gave me a very, very good offer. I personally think the design of the 1953 Corvette was, and is to me one of the greatest to come out of Detroit, and the concept model has a ton of Easter eggs. I’m stoked all over again!
