1957 Chevrolet Corvette No reserve Swedish circulation permit Chassis no. E57S105992 - Attractive shape for this 1957 vintage - Powerful V8 - Well-preserved restoration - No reserve Sold new in the United States, this Corvette convertible arrived in Europe in the late '80s, then in 1998 in Sweden. It underwent a complete overhaul in 2015, and it was the following year that Staffan Wittmark acquired it, seduced by the design of this sports car from across the Atlantic. In fact, it's the only American car in his collection. In December 2023, it was entrusted to the SRO workshop in Le Castellet, France, for a complete overhaul of the fuel system, including tank and carburetor flushing, pump overhaul, replacement of fuel lines and fuel gauge. On this occasion, the coolant was drained, the radiator having been rebuilt shortly beforehand. Today, the car has the appearance of an old restoration with a beautiful patina. The interior is in fine condition, with its red seats, the small lever for the four-speed manual gearbox and the impressive dashboard with instruments spread across the entire surface, on either side of an old-fashioned-looking car radio. A cup holder has been added to the central armrest. The engine compartment appears to be as original as possible, and the car has seen very little use in recent years. The 1957 version is particularly attractive in terms of styling, and its V8 engine gives it the power to hold its own. This convertible is a fine example of the classic Chevrolet response to the flood of European sports cars in the USA in the early '50s. - Appealing design of this 1957 model - Powerful V8 - Well-preserved older restoration - No reserve Sold new in the United States, this Corvette convertible arrived in Europe at the end of the 1980s, and in Sweden in 1998.
