It was January 17, 1953 when the Chevrolet Corvette was first revealed to the public at the GM Motorama in the Waldorf Astoria in New York City and changed the American sports car market forever!

Sixty years later GM contacted Kerbeck Corvette (current owner of the EX-122) to bring that Motorama Experimental Prototype Corvette back to New York City to celebrate 60 years of Corvettes with the first, the EX-122 and the latest Corvette, the 2014 Corvette Stingray along with one Corvette from each generation!

Man they are going all out advertising this thing.

...why does that C7 have to be so hot and gosh darn good looking. That red and black combination is a perfect match for my ZL1, well, it's free to dream anyway...they would look so bad ass together. :D

I freaking love this vette...haha I am seriously thinking I may sell the camaro and save up for one of these babies....Now time to convince this brilliant plan to the wife!
