"Runway Reverie" is a captivating piece of artwork that captures the essence of nostalgia and the thrill of adventure. Depicting a 1953 Corvette parked gracefully at the end of an airport runway, the scene encapsulates the timeless beauty and allure of classic automobiles and the excitement of aviation.

The artwork is set on a cloudy day with subtle blue light casting a gentle glow across the scene. The runway stretches into the distance, seemingly infinite, symbolizing the endless possibilities that lie ahead. The tarmac reflects the fading light, creating a shimmering effect that adds an ethereal touch to the composition.

At the forefront stands a meticulously detailed 1953 Corvette, its sleek, aerodynamic curves embodying the spirit of automotive excellence. The classic white body contrasts against the runway's dark asphalt, emphasizing its elegance and pristine condition. The chrome accents glimmer in the fading light, evoking a sense of timelessness.

The Corvette sits alone, positioned at the end of the runway as if it is the embodiment of freedom and adventure. Its presence implies the anticipation of an imminent journey, invoking a sense of wanderlust and the desire for exploration. The artwork invites viewers to imagine the possibilities that await, capturing the thrill of embarking on a new and exciting voyage.

"Runway Reverie" harmoniously combines elements of automotive design, aviation, and nostalgia. It pays homage to a bygone era, capturing the romance and nostalgia associated with classic cars and the awe-inspiring world of aviation. The artwork invites viewers to step into a moment frozen in time and invites contemplation about the spirit of exploration and the open road.

1953 Runway Corvette

 1953 Runway Corvette- If there's a runway it is almost mandatory to drive a car to the end of it and take some pictures.

Here is our 1953 Chevrolet Corvette at the end of 32R somewhere in the great American southwest.

 The 1953 Corvette started life as a concept car and eventually 300 were carefully assembled by hand in Flint, Michigan. These first Corvettes were powered by an inline six cylinder engine putting out 150 horsepower. Sports car lovers considered them to be underpowered. The first 'Vette did the quarter mile in 18 seconds and 0 to 60 in 11. Not very impressive, perhaps on a par with a modern four cylinder SUV.

There are only 225 C1 Corvettes left and a nice one could set you back $100,000 or more.

 This '53 Vette is Ready for the Road.


The first Corvette got off to kind of a slow start. Literally- 0-60 in 11 seconds, the quarter mile in just under 18. You can leave your helmet at home.

Powered by a 150 horsepower six cylinder with the two speed Powerglide transmission behind it.

Only 300 made, little over 200 still out in the wild this C1 Corvette could prove to be hard to find. $3500 brandy new, a nice one might put you back $250k right now.
