This 1954 Corvette was acquired from J&C Auto Sales of Lake
Ozarks, Missouri, by Europa Motor Cars of Dallas, Texas, which sold
it to the current owner's father on 13 November 1978. The Corvette
was taken home and put in the family's collection, and there it has
remained ever since. Presented as a solid and intact "barn find,"
it recorded 16,729 miles at the time of cataloguing, and is in
solid overall condition, with a particularly nice correct red
interior; the fit of the body panels are as-original, as are the
finishes of the engine and chassis, which appear to be undisturbed.
It would be the ideal basis for a complete restoration of this
desirable first-generation �C1' Corvette.To view this car and
