Default Beautiful Car

I was enjoying an out door lunch in Delray Beach FL this past weekend, something we people in Massachusetts can not do at this time of the year and this beautiful vette pulled up accross the street and parked.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and just starred at this car.
I have a 2005 C6 Coupe and posted this in the C6 forum and someone said you should post this in the C1 forum.
If the owner of this car is a member of the forum, you have the best looking vette I have seen.

Default '57 ?

Well C1 guys what year is it. My best guess is a '57 just by the
thought this is a two headlight car and not 4.... Color seems to match
up with a '57 as well....

2023 C2 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
2022 C2 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

Default '56 or '57- could be either

It is either a '56 or '57. Cascade Green was offered both years and from the pictures there are no other distinguishing features.

Sure looks like the record setting 1956 car painted by Mark Gordon. Can't tell for sure from a single photo.

Don't think quad headlight cars had the little "airscoops" on top of the front fenders, just ahead of the windshield. Gotta be '56 or '57 IMO.

Great looking rides. Thanks for the pictures.

There are a pair of these Cascade Green '57's that show up in Carlisle, PA every August for the Corvettes of Carlisle event. License Plates are "His 57" and "Her 57" if memory serves me correct. Awesome looking rides.

Looks like a '56 from the rearview mirror, I wonder if he drove it there has NY registration.

Flipped collars was a 50's thing. I flip the collars on all my jackets.
