The vintage-car hobby never sits still for too long. Like fashion trends and political winds, it’s constantly in flux. Back in the 1950s and ’60s, when today’s collectible Corvettes were new, customizing was all the rage. That changed dramatically in the 1970s, with a clear shift toward returning modified cars back to their stock configurations. By the time the 1980s rolled around, it was widely considered blasphemous to modify a vintage Corvette and those who did were looked upon as obtuse and boorish in certain circles.
