1956
Retrospective Exhibit 2006 |
. |
There is so much to see at Corvettes at Carlisle
that I never get to see it all. However, it is one of the best places to
view unusual and historic seldom seen models. This year was the Golden Anniversary
for these Fifty-Something 1956's. Following are some of the participants
and two SR-1 models.

The Silver with Black cove 1956 was identified
as a custom. Sweet. |
|

|
The Yellow and White striped tent was heavily reflected
in this Black beauties paint finish. |
|
|
|
|
|
Note the unusual earlier style Glass jar washer
reservoir above the dual quads and the shaved off upper fender scoop trim.
This beauty was SCCA club raced. |

Another sweet Venetian Red 1956, same color combo
as mine. |

Note the aftermarket accessory plexiglass wind
wings mounted to the front door post. These were popular addition for C1's. |

I overheard a spectator whisper the fellow in the
Blue jacket was one of the VIP judges, Rob Lobotomy or something. That is
what is great about Carlisle, being surrounded by Corvette celebrities.
But, I was too bashful to seek the autograph. |
