Saw it at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale this year. With the exception of the wheels, I like it....to each their own, I guess But then I also think that retro 2003/1953 Corvette looks better than any real 53 Corvette (or real C6 Corvette for that matter) ever thought about looking

I have an old saying I refer to pretty much on a daily basis...

"just because you <u>can</u>, doesn't mean you <u>should</u>.

I'd say that applies here.

While I can certainly appreciate the craftsmanship and time/labor/$$$ that obviously went into this build, all I can think of when I see it is this:

That's my feel too Bill.

I like the front, love the back, the side view needs a little work (looks pinched in the mid-section), but absolutely hate the wheels. Needs big-n-littles.

And yes, I like the '53 Retro-vette.

Course, I'm a dinosaur!
