1953 C5 Commemorative Corvette Convertible

2001 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Custom (1953 Commemorative Edition) Description

History: What if someone took the look of the original 1953 Corvette and updated it to fit onto the high-tech chassis of a current C-5 Corvette? Leading up to the 50th Anniversary for the Corvette in 2003, the chief designer from Magna Steyr, Bill Miller, along with former GM Designer Steve Pasteiner created a nostalgic look to harken back to the original 1953 Corvette. The design was named the 1953 Commemorative Edition Corvette. It is built on any existing C5 Corvette chassis with all new fiberglass panels, front and rear fascia’s by Advanced Automotive Technologies. The workmanship on the entire car (paint, fit, show quality chrome) is second to none. Fewer than 200 have been built. This is number 131.

This is a very rare 1953-CE Commemorative Edition Corvette with only 22,000 original miles. Beautiful Speedway White exterior and Black convertible top over Torch Red interior. This car is built on a 2001 Chevrolet Corvette chassis and is converted to look like a 1953 Corvette. This has all the comfort, handling and technology of a 2001 C-5 Corvette with the look of the original classic 1953 Corvette. It is in tip-top shape and can be driven anywhere. You will not fine a car with more crowd appeal and the head-turns never stop. These cars rarely come up for sale so don’t miss out. This car is titled as a 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible.
