“THE LEGEND”
“Initially Purchased By Dale Jones In The Early 60’s And Kept With His Collection Until He Passed A Few Years Ago. Mr. Jones Considered This Corvette “The Centerpiece” And Looked After Her With Great Pride And Attention. Throughout The Years, He And His Wife Enjoyed Touring The Country Roads Near Their Home In The Pennsylvania Mountains. At Some Point, Car Shows Became An Interest And For Best Results, A Freshening Was Undertaken. Respecting What Essentially Was An Original, Unmolested Survivor, Mr. Jones Elected To Refinish The Original Colors With A Factory-Correct Lacquer Finish. Seat Covers And Carpeting Were Also Replaced At This Time. The Results Were Stunning (Awarded A Corvette Magazine Cover Photo) And She Remains “Jewel-Like” Today.
