Corvette For Sale

I hope you excuse this shameless bit of advertising for whoever this "Bob" person is, but I could not pass up sharing photos of this beautiful 1957 Corvette parked not a quarter-mile for The Northern Light building (where I work). This is by no means a blog devoted to classic cars, but seeing a C1 Corvette for sale will always make me stop and take notice.

In case it has not yet become clear, I am a bit of car guy. These Corvettes have always been favorites of mine. They became even more so when I did a report in high school on Harley Earl, the so-called "Father of the Corvette" and some might say modern car design. Earl was an incredibly influential car designer for GM in the 1950s and 60s. Not only did he pen the shapes of some of the most beautiful American cars of that era, he pretty much invented the modern car show. The days of tailfins, which Earl also invented, and mile-long Cadillacs may be gone, but Earl's trademark design cues can still be found in American cars today. I can't help but wonder what he would have thought of the near collapse of GM, the shuttering of Ford, and the Italian buyout of Chrysler. 

Here are some of the photos I took. Stay tuned for me attempting to get in touch with "Bob" and learn more about this specific 'Vette.
