1957 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 283 ci V8 63246 Miles
It's not hard to find people who appreciate the first-generation Corvette, but this one transcends the casual enthusiasts to speak right to the hearts of the true collectors. This 1957 Chevrolet Corvette has been deemed superior by earning an NCRS Top Flight award in 2011. So look over everything from the dual-quad V8 to the two-tone inside and out, and you'll see that this classic has been restored to remain a showpiece. The '57 Corvette represents the most iconic look of the first generation. It has the single headlight design, rounded rear fenders with a hint of tailfin, and exhaust tips tastefully mounted out of the rear bodywork - that's all part of that original style we love from the first years. But the Corvette also evolved by 1957. It was a sleeker design with side coves, and you could really show them off with the two-tone. And that toothy grille got even brighter. It's this advancement of the original icon that makes the car so special, and exactly why it received an expert restoration in time for its Top Flight award. They took their time applying the glossy Venetian Red and the result is a deep shine that loves to highlight all those iconic curves. The correct beige inserts are one of the most tasteful ways to have a two-tone. In fact, we like the way the like-new beige convertible top harmonizes with the insert color. It's all part of a 1957-correct style that makes this one award-worthy. As much as we like the way the roof looks, the real treat is when you fold it back and out of the way to look like a true roadster. The red bucket seat interior matches the exterior color to give this convertible an almost seamless appearance in the sunshine. And we love the way the exterior beg returns to break up this sea of red on the dash, doors, and steering column.
