'58 Barris Custom Corvette...Whew...but it's a piece of history

[scuncio]

Not much of an improvement on the GM Design Studio theme IMO, but cool nonetheless.

I usually have ZERO time for yucky Barris creations, but that one's not bad I must say.

----I forget the company name but these front ends were sold out of a California Corvette shop back in the day. Guys who had front end accidents found this custom front cheaper than using GM parts. Barris just bought it and did a few minor changes to it...….Bill S

Was just going to post the same as Bill did, Acme was the CA Co. name as below ad.
The nose was a copy of Bill Mitchell's '58 XP-700, specifically the 2'nd more tapered nose design.

Bill Mitchells front end looks a whole lot better.That looks like something out of a Warshawskys' catalog.
