Tiny 57 vette

[80sz]

Had to fix a few things on this 1957 vette. That creamy orange took 3 spray outs to get right still was a tad dark but it blended good. I have to say tho I don’t know how you could be comfy in it. It is tiny, so hard to get in, it was just awkward. Steering wheel was way to close also , like a Ferris wheel it’s so big. Driving, omg ido t think I’d do 70 in it, 45 was good for me. It’s a low mile survivor but I’d never buy it.

They're nice to look at but that's about it. Reminds me of a bucket of bolts to drive. Huge steering wheel is way to close to seat. We just touched up a 58 survivor for a friend for auction. Amazing what they go for.

I've seen a few of these as drag race cars in stock and superstock classes where much of the interior is retained, when the roll cage is added it becomes extremely cramped ! I am 6'2" and cant imagine fitting into one, but I'd sure try.

I've never sat in a C1. So they're smaller on the inside than a C3? I find our C3 a bit tight, although taking off the t-tops makes it feel bigger.

It’s tiny, I felt like I was in a roller coaster car , specifically the mouse trap one.

I’ll stick with my ‘74z28. At least I can take my grandchildren for a spin albeit in “shifts”.

I've driven a 57 with the hardtop on. I agree. Totally cramped, huge steering wheel that is placed directly in front of you, and way too close.
At 6 ft. tall, I hate the driving position. Bent elbows holding that big ol' steering wheel, Hardtop cramping my neck and claustrophobic.
With the top off it gives the headroom but does nothing for everything else.

Oh yeah, makes a C3 feel like a limo.
