47 years and counting! One owner will not rest until his 1956 Corvette is perfect.
Dick Miller was determined to make his "basket case" 1956 Corvette as nice as he could. And he didn't really care how long it took.
It's been about 47 years now, and Miller finally has his sweet roadster looking and running exactly the way he wants — well, almost.
"I still have a few things I want to address on it. I really want to do everything right," says the Appleton, Wis., resident, of his stunning black-and-silver roadster. "I've always told everybody that I'm taking my time on this one and searching out all the best, proper parts and everything, because I always wanted this to be my best car."
Miller has owned more Corvettes than he can count off the top of his head, and has four of them these days — including the '56, '57, '58 trifecta. He has indeed made the '56 into the most close-to-perfect in his fleet, and he did it with the most unlikely of restoration candidates.
