Our 1953 Commemorative Edition Corvette Story

    The Pickup

    We decided to make our 1998 Carmine convertible the "donor" car for the project.   Now, all we have to do is figure out how to get the car to Michigan.

    We were in luck! Steve & Steve Pasteiner agreed to come to the National Corvette Museum for the Labor Day Celebration bringing a trailer and hauling our 98 back to Michigan.   Believe it or not, neither of the Pasteiners had ever been to the NCM.   We made sure they got the 50cent tour!
