In 2002 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Corvette, a group of automotive engineers designed a perfect way to pay tribute to the Corvette legacy by blending the 50's styling with the cutting edge C-5 technology. In 1954, as part of their Motorama Line-Up, GM displayed special proto-type Corvette's, with the only Corvette Wagon referred to as the "Waldorf Nomad", which was later used as the Chevy Nomad Wagon. Basically, the '53 Retro Corvette is are-bodied C-5 Convertible. This wagon was built from a 2004 glass hatchback with no modification to the existing seal surfaces. The Sport Wagon custom steel side exhaust, 7 chrome vertical strips on the rear fascia, fully functional rear hatch lid with added cargo space, hash marks on the roof panel, and an iconic design in modern proportions. The new retro designed package includes a new front & rear fascia, headlights, chrome die-cast grill & bumpers, hood, fenders rear quarter panels, and LED taillights, replacing the original parts. Panels are bolted to the original attachment points. It is also complimented with painted brake calipers, custom leather interior, power seats and AM/FM CD stereo system.
