Did the Southern Motor Company's new truck not strike your fancy? Gmac sends photos of N2A (No Two Alike) Motors' new car. Sitting on a Corvette C6 chassis, it has a front styled like a '57 Chevy, the sides like a '58, and a rear like a '59. Its designation: the "789". They're planning a production run of about 100 of them:
There's much cuteness there, but to me in the end it's a fiberglass mash-up, while the SMC's truck is stainless steel.
An authentic, restored '57 Chevy will run you about $100,000 - the same as the 789. If fiberglass is not an issue for you, why not look into a kit? Not all of them look like hell.

PS... I'm cashing in all my carbon offsets I've been saving all these years so I can *really* have fun!

Posted by: tom at April 18, 2007 10:58 AMThere should be a cartoon about a gaudy, demented catfish. Maybe it could have the voice (impersonation) of Paul Lynde.
