Car of the Week: 1954 Chevrolet 'Test Bed' Corvette
1954 Test Bed Corvette, 1935 SS One Airline Saloon takes top honors and a Bigfoot sighting at the Savoy in this week's Old Cars newsletter.
Like many automobile enthusiasts in 1953, Roger Crispell had his sights set on the Corvette, Chevrolet's brand-new sports car. Even though he worked at General Motors, Crispell lacked the VIP or celebrity status that it took to own a new Corvette. Chevrolet had reserved the 300 produced for the model's introductory model year for high-profile figures who would help make the new fiberglass two-seater more visible to the public. Crispell did not qualify.
Nearly one year after its 1953 introduction, the Corvette became more widely available, and in 1954, GM employee Crispell finally landed his Corvette, a 1954 model purchased new from Matthew Hargreaves Chevrolet in Royal Oak, Mich.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.– The 1935 SS One Airline Saloon, owned by Lisa and Jim Hendrix, of Chesterfield, Missouri, took Best in Show honors in the Concours d'Elegance Sunday at the 2023 Chattanooga Motorcar Festival Sponsored by Millennium Bank.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA - The Savoy Automobile Museum in Cartersville, GAannounced the opening of their newest temporary exhibit, Evolution of BIGFOOT. The original BIGFOOT began as a 1974 Ford F-250 pickup that was modified by its owner, Bob Chandler, beginning in 1975. In 1979, Chandler replaced the under assembly of the truck with one from a military-surplus top loader featuring four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering that used 48-inch (120 cm) tires. This exhibit explores the evolution of the phenomenon that is BIGFOOT featuring BIGFOOT #1 (1975; the original monster truck), BIGFOOT #8 "First CAD-designed Monster Truck", and BIGFOOT #20 "First and only electric Monster Truck". In addition, joining the others on October 17 will be the 1987 Ford BIGFOOT Cruiser F-250 4x4, BIGFOOT Blue. This exhibition will be on display from October 3, 2023 - February 4, 2024.
