1957, 1958 & 1959 All Rolled Into One. This car was built by N2A motors (No Two Alike).
Cost $US135,000. The company is planning a production run of about 100 vehicles. It sits on a Corvette C6 chassis, front styled like a 57 Chevy, side like a 58, rear like a 59. Hence the designation '789'.     See this website for more details: http://www.57classicchevy.com/789-chevy.html |

it is different - obviously a lot of work and planning has gone into it
to me though the front, side, rear and even windscreen do not match any other part of the car - a total bitza |

For a moment I thought 789 was referring to the engine capacity in cubic inches. That would make it almost 13 litres if it was about the engine.

Honestly though, to me it looks like Dr. Frankenstien decided that after the monster didn't work out, he would try his hands at Autos. It's wrong in every way. I hope no '57 chev's were harmed in the making of this monstrosity.

as said above nothing matches what really sticks out to me is the windscreen area it looks way to modern for the rest of the car. might look a bit better with a single coulor paint job but it will always look like something made of bits and pieces

That's one way to destroy the look of the '57, '58 and '59 Chev.

IMO, they should build 3 models, one of each year......not roll all 3 into the 1 car..
having that all styled like a 57 chev would be mint! |

Looks fantastic!
I couldn't care less about it ruining the look of the individual models or that it's a mashup. It's retro cool to me. |
