Description
Lot #994 - This car comes from the collection of Larry Gerig and has been on display at the Corvette Classic Museum in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This rare 1953 Corvette has VIN 243 with only 3 miles on it. It has won numerous awards including the Triple Crown Award, Bloomington Gold Award, NCRS Top Flight Award, and the Gold Spinner Award. This car is one of the highest point cars ever judged. This car is very unique in that a 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette was manufactured with a matching VIN and matching colors. It is believed that the matching 2003 50th Anniversary car is the only one that is white with red interior - just like this 1953 Corvette. The matching 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette is also being offered for sale in this auction. The potential to combine these vehicles in one collection presents an exceedingly unique buying opportunity.
