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.

 Vintage Triumph TR3 makes its way along a winding road lined with palms past giant prehistoric beasts.

The beautiful classic Triumph TR3 was produced from 1955 to 1962 in Coventry, England by the Triumph Motor Company. The TR3 came outfitted with an inline four cylinder engine mated to a four speed manual transmission. Output was around 100 horsepower.

Approximately 58,000 of these cars were made and examples can still be found on the streets and race tracks today. 

Originally selling for $1200 USD a TR3 can be had for $6000 or so for a restorable car to $30,000 or more for a car in very nice shape.

The image by George Cosmos Wagner is available as a limited edition 24x16 canvas gallery wrap. Each print is signed by the artist and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Open edition prints are also available.
