Vehicle Description
Known as "Transitions," this 1954 Corvette custom convertible was
created as a tribute to the GM Concept Corvette displayed as one of
the "Dream Cars" in the 1954 GM Motorama. The vision was to combine
the stylish looks of the 1954 Motorama prototype with modern-day
technology, handling and performance. This car was a six-year build
leading to its debut at the 2017 Detroit Autorama. This Corvette is
powered by a custom Edelbrock supercharged 5.7-liter V8 LS1 engine
mated to a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission. Modifications
include a Jamison tubular chassis, C4 suspension, front and rear
custom anti-sway bars, high performance Baer 14-inch 6-piston disc
brakes, with custom emblems and a custom LS engine cover. The
custom interior includes Classic Instruments gauges, chrome by
Advanced Plating, Vintage Air, and NuRelics power windows. Body
modifications are extensive as every inch of this car has been
reworked from top to bottom. It has a tapered body drop,
body-widening, rear wheel wells removed and extended, cowl modified
to accept a 1956 windshield, cowl vent removed, gas lid removed,
and a rear hatch modified to accept a 1956 removable top. A hidden
steel structures fabricated to surround the passenger compartment
for safety, all fuel and brake lines are hidden, custom CNC
machined fender trim modeled after the original 1953 Corvette
prototype, custom hood scoop, doors split and widened to
accommodate power roll-up windows, lift-off hardtop and remote
control door latches. It features polished aluminum and stainless,
custom CNC machine work at Lokar. This award-winning 'Vette is
finished in Soul Red over a custom interior in Deep Earth leather.
It rides on Billet Specialties wheels.
