1959 Corvette Warners New York My story starts when I was 13 years old and built a model of a 1959 Corvette. My dream was someday to own a Corvette. A tour of military duty in Viet Nam, college, marriage, a house and three boys kept pushing my dream car further an further away. Well 42 years after building that model the kids are gone and I am a proud owner of a 1959 Corvette. The "Corvette Barn" (owners Bob and Nancy) a local Corvette dealership is where it found me. I was hoping for a 1962 project Corvette and asked Bob if he had anything that might interest me. Taking me into the back building, sitting in the corner with parts piled all around it was a 1959 Dark green with a gold cove and red interior Corvette. A true project car just like the one I built from a plastic model when I was 13. My wife Jane encouraged me to go for it and I did. The car sat in a barn for 30 year, was off the frame and needed restoration. The car is still in progress and I drive it every chance I get. I have 905 hours into restoration and love driving it. I tell people when I take them for a drive that they are in for a "driving experience not just a drive." How i found it What i did with it How it was finished
