New Vettehead from NJ with a C1 ????

[bbeez59]

Hello guys n' gals! Just joined the CAC a few days ago and I'm really glad to be aboard! I left a lengthy introduction and a show post on the 'Event Calendar' for the NJ area on May 18.

I just acquired a nice matching numbers '59, 283/245hp 4spd, red with white coves and I'm anxious in obaining some first hand information during the restoration, and making a few new efriends in the process. This is my 2nd Vette. First was a '63 split window fuelie, which I purchased 'new' .... I guess I just gave away my age.... but who cares anyway! This is America... land of the free, and the Corvette!

Anyway, my club, the All American Corvette Club, based out of Hackensack, NJ, is in the middle of preparing for our upcoming show in May. Being so close to the NCM 50th tribute, we are attempting to locate a '53 in order to set up a special display in the showroom at Great American Chevrolet for our own tribute. Can anyone help, or point us in the right direction? If necessary, transportaion arrangements can be made (within reason) to and from Hackensack, NJ.

Thanks for your help and again, looking forward to talking with some of you real soon. Buddy B

Hi Buddy-

There's an organization at www.solidaxle.org headed up by Noland Adams, I believe. I think they have as members or knowledge of 60 '53 owners. Amazing, since only 300 were made. There might be somebody close by!

Welcome to the CAC! Some of us C1 guys spend a lot of time in the C2 section, so you might want to check that out, too. Good color and year choice!

Welcome Buddy

Congrats on the 1959. I'll be glad to answer anything I can about the restoration. Good luck on the show too. Sounds like it will be a nice one.

Way back when I was a kid, My dad was living in San Diego. I took my trusty 35mm Pentax for a walk and came accross an older gentleman with a `59. Things are a little hazy, but it had 2 fours and a 3 speed. The fuzz wuz worn off the seats, I think we`re talking over 150k. Anyhow, I took a couple of snaps, and went on my way. I wonder where the car went. If and when I dig up the pictures, maybe the tags are visible and someone can get DMV to run it..... Happy Dreams. Oh, and it was black.... What`s happening to the quote box????:confused
