Default Red with tan top but 60 years apart

I just picked up my Crystal red convertible with Kalahari top and interior. When parked next to my 54 they are clearly related but more like second cousins. The addition of roll up windows is a real nice touch in the new one.

Now that's pretty cool, you have a 1954 and a 2014? I'm impressed. You know you're going to have to do some photo shoots with the two of them for us.

Congratulations, I really like the pic you posted.

Nice pair of Vettes.

I would say it is more of grandfather and grandson than cousins.

Wow! That is very cool. Congratulations on both. You will LOVE this car (C7). Looking forward to many pictures (I hope) of the two together. Thanks for posting.

I would think the 54 gets more attention but with the C7 who knows. Both great colors!

Very Cool! I agree with the others a photo shoot with both cars would be a lot fun to look at. Both outside and in your garage. (I love pics of old corvettes with memorabilia in the background). Under the hood, interior shots. Heck even data on 0-60 times would be fun!

Very cool collection! Look forward to follow up!
