That body style was 1958-1960. Regardless, I am jealous of your opportunity to drive that thing.

I could see that it was different from the 1953 in the initial post and I wondered about the year. I was either told incorrectly or the error is in an old man's memory. I was younger then, 1984, it was during my first trip to the US. It was on some lovely winding mountain roads somewhere outside of LA. I also drove it again in 2005. At the risk of upsetting Corvette enthusiasts here I must say that I was not impressed by the handling. The solid rear axle did it no favours.

2005. The man with the camera is the late Craig Vetter, who will be known to any motorcyclist reading this.
