Default The royal Corvette

This corvette was ordered new by his royal highness, Prince Bertil of Sweden. It´s customised in these pictures, but the position of the fuelcap in the middle and the two cromeribs on the decklid is factory. It was specialordered this way.
10 to 15 years ago when my friend Dick sold his three #198 intakes to "Mr Corvette", the late Lasse Tidblom. We were taken on a private tour to see all his cars. Around 35 Corvettes Some were show quality and some were wrecked. L-71 and fulie cars for example, were kept to be restored. Among them was this -56, the prince Bertil Corvette, undergoing restoration . I remember it well.
