First car was ‘61 Corvette. Sky blue with white insets, white rag top and white leather interior. The ONLY reason I got it is because sister (8 years older) flattened a stop sign learning to drive it. Sat in the carport for 8 years waiting….was white on white on white when Dad bought it and he and the farm labor took it back to the original Sky blue w/white insets. Only had a 283 double barrel in it, but Dad always said a hopped up Singer sewing machine motor would be too fast for that light little fiberglass body!
He had to sell it for land taxes, shortly after I got married and we had no resources to buy it. Great memories, but damnations it was hot for four MS Delta summers, before getting a car with a/c my senior year!! I miss it (now), but not the constant wrenching….had gotten to be one issue after another and parts harder to find.
