Kinda Looks Like a 1953 Corvette.
I spotted this hybrid on the northeast corner of Tatum Boulevard and Shea in Phoenix, Arizona. It had Wisconsin plates on it. August 19th,2003: Since I took this photo in 2002, I've discovered that this is a kit-car body that merely fits over a standard Corvette.

Sure Ain't a 1953 'Vette
Here's the side view of this beast. Actually, it's not a beast. I didn't go over it with a micrometer, but fit and finish seemed to be as good as any recent car out of Detroit. Its length destroys the classic small sports car look of the original Zora Arkus-Duntov design.

And Here's the Tail of the non-1953 'Vette
What's more to say? Displaying four exhaust tubes, the body appears to be built on a recent release Corvette frame.

Pair of 2003 350Z Nissan's
Here we have a two, a couple, dos, of the replacement to the venerable
300ZX. My best buddy, Master Bates, had the first year of this model, a 240ZX, back in the 1970s when Nissan was known as Datsun here in the U.S.
