Along with a co-signature from his father Sir William White they became the new owners of this beautiful Dual Quad 1960 Corvette finished in Horizon Blue and after 36 Consecutive payments of $96.28 this car was his alone.

He enjoyed up until recently with his passing, this is truly a single owner Corvette !!! almost unheard in today’s market we have an original purchase order in his name, title and some registrations dating back to his transfers in the service.
As a Navy Pilot one can assume speed and performance was the driven factor in settling to buy a Corvette as they were some of the fastest cars around coined the reputation of Americas S[orts Car !! Opting for one of the most sought after performance variations young William hand picked the 283 Dual Quads variant producing 270hp with its 4 speed and posi-traction configuration. Although fuel injection was state of the art many felt the Dual Quads offered more reliable and similar performance. Both fast indeed but the haul to 100 MPH gave victor to the 2x4’s.
