Good read.
I agree with the limits of the C1... I have never driven on, chiefly, because when I tried to get into one, I simply don't fit. I have always had the wrong proportions... tall in the torso, short inseam (I am just at 6' tall, but with a 30" inseam!) and a bit too much of a belly... It makes for a poor fit on a good day... I haven't tried a restomod with PS and a small steering wheel. The C4 limits were a bit kinder... that tall sill was a result of GM brains, thinking they were smarter than Dave McClellen, ordering him to remove the t-bar... and not giving him $$ to do it right. On my 92, remove the top, and the front and rear of the car no longer were one... they vibrated at a less than complementary frequency. It was kinda nauseating... I can't speak for the C8. I can't wait to drive one, tho. |

From 1958, each year gets slightly better, as Chevrolet messed with the seats/seat position, the transmission tunnel, and the overall width. The issue with the 1957 makes me sad, because I think it is the most perfect and elemental of the solid-axle cars. I did notice after a while that all my friends who actually drove their 57s were slim and short … |
