I took a reference photo of this 1962 Corvette at a car show in Westfield, MA. The contrast of the red leather against the black paint and chrome really appealed to me.
I thought the owner of the car was a local person but didn’t know who. I started going to many local car shows to see if I could find out who it was. I saw the car again at Lime Rock Raceway for the corvette day but couldn’t find the owner. I mentioned this to my dental hygienist and she said she knew the person. She even used the car for her engagement! Finally, after almost a year of searching I met Mike the owner. During the summer of 2003, the car was driven the entire length of Route 66 from Santa Monica CA to Chicago IL.
