Great photos of a special Corvette!

This is one of 3 "see-through" cars built by Corvette Repair, a Corvette Restoration shop in Valley Stream, NY. The cars were built to promote the company's restoration work and allow inspection of every detail of the car, most of which would ordinarily be hidden by the body.

Here's a link to a 2021 article from Hemmings.com about the 3 cars and Corvette Repair. Interesting story.

That is unique. Wouldn't do for the road, though.

Great set of images!!
I think the car would be more interesting had he install clear panels to replace the cut-outs.


Thanks, Frank. I found out that a restoration shop did this. Nifty marketing tool.

I apologize for these two shots. They're not up to my standards. The sun was just peeking over the horizon, I hadn't set the camera to deal with the background stuff, and the activities of the preceding night hadn't turn me loose yet.
I'm going to show these shots anyway because you will never see anything like this again.

Interesting, but I would prefer see through dresses!

That's pretty cool! Who was behind the transparent Corvette?

It's a great way to expose your restoration skills that are normally not seen,
