Automobile auctions happen all the time. something Sometimes they have interesting, sometimes they are all rather ordinary. But every now and then a sports car bread in the auction block to flow with the inheritance in equal measure with motor oil. This is one of the car. Once owned by Harley Earl, known widely and unfortunately remembered as the dean of car design. General Motors makes this 1963 Corvette Stingray convertible for Earl, packed with all kinds of special features, from a special paint scheme to the unique side-mounted exhaust. He drove the car for two years, even driving as the Grand Marshal's Daytona 500, before selling it and the car disappeared into obscurity. Four and a half decades later, a unique Corvette has been fully restored to its original state, and is being auctioned to the highest bidder at the Mecum Bloomington Gold Corvette Auction in St. Charles, Illinois, later this month, where he tends to take the highest price ever paid for the Corvette.
