Is the Corvette Avelate a creation of Chevrolet ? Saw my first one today on a video and the owner claims it was a limited production run by Chevrolet. If so why are none at the NCM? Supposed on 20 plus were built. Anyone heard of this Corvette?

Re: Corvette Avelate
They are/were built in my area. They are a "love it or hate it" creation. All the ones I've seen are hideous looking. Those that have seen them in person tend to agree. Why ruin a car by creating a hermaphrodite that looks like crap?Comment

Re: Corvette Avelate
Hi,
If you google Avelate you'll see various pictures of what appears to be about all that were built…. some people say a total of 11.
There's also a version (maybe a year or two later) that takes a few styling hints from the 53 cars.
To my eye it's every very bit as bad as the 11, but in a totally different way.
It looks to me like someone said we made the first ones too hideous, (thanks Jim,) so we'll make this one more subtle….. it looks like a partially used bar of soap!

Re: Corvette Avelate
Believe it or not today on the parkway a guy passed me with a C5. The car was all stock except for a piece about 2 inches wide running down the back window. It was painted the same color as the car but to to me it looked ridiculous and personally I think he ruined the car. The split window may look great on a 63 but on anything else it looks totally out of place.Comment
