789 Chevy

A company is making these on a Corvette chassis. I would rather have it than a vette. I like it, myself. Of course that was my era, so that probably makes a difference.

I kind of like it. You have a 57 Chevy front, 58 sides and 59 rear. The 57 Chevy all by itself was a very fine car.

X2

A real 57 looks so much better than that.

I'd never buy such a thing, but it's probably a blast to drive.

At first look, I did not like it at all. But its outrageousness is growing on me.

Would certainly consider renting it for $100/day on my next trip to Vegas (if that were an option, lol)

I like it, and can sure vision my Red head wife cruising in it.

It does remind me of that song though.

I like it except for the rear end.

The side view mirrors look wrong for the car, too.

Still, I kinda like it.

IMO, it would be a real hoot to drive.

Yeah with a little glass and some filler you could shave those and put some 57 mirrors on it. That thing would be a blast to drive.

You'd probably be less likely to hurt yourself in one of these, Jim:
