Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 26th year in the classic and muscle car business. This year marks the 71st anniversary of Chevrolet's ''halo'' car, the spectacular Corvette.

Arkus-Duntov and the rest of the Chevy engineering team scrambled to transform the Corvette from a stylish boulevard cruiser into the performance icon that it is today. This stunning Tuxedo Black and Silver 1959 Corvette is an excellent example of of that critical transformation. A look beneath the hood reveals the optional 283 ci V8 sporting dual 4bbl carburetors and 245 hp, quite an exotic setup in 1959 America. Additional features include the desirable Borg-Warner 4-speed manual transmission, correct Wonder Bar radio, beautifully contrasting red interior, and wide whitewall tires (6.70-15) wrapped around steel wheels with correct covers. First generation Corvettes are among the most beautiful and coveted there are, but Tuxedo Black with Silver coves and a red interior just gets it done. Stunning. One more gorgeous classic from the Texas Hill Country's premier source for classic Corvettes and the team that can make your dream a reality.
