Background:
Originally built with the six cylinder engine,
this Corvette had a non running V-8 installed
in October of 1953 to see what modifications
would be necessary to install a V-8 in the 1955
Corvette. Between October of 1953 and late 1955,
this Vette was rebuilt several times. The last
time, it was painted red and it is believed
that it was assigned the EX-122 number at this
time.

Special features:
Total restoration back to the April 1956 configuration
was started in 1973 and completed in 1978.
Since then, it has made numerous appearances
at National Corvette Restorers Society and
Bloomington Gold as well as shows in the Rochester
area where Jack lives.
