"Vignale Corvette

This one-off Vignale Corvette was built for the 1961 Salon de l'Automobile in Paris. It was based on a '59 or '60 Corvette chassis, commissioned by a Mr. Kelly"
Winner!

Newspaper article about it when it was new.

The car is listed as a participant in the Copperstate 1000 which starts this weekend here in Phoenix. May have to go watch the cool cars start their journey. It's awesome to see super rare cars like this going down the road.
