Imagine combining the great design features from three different cIassic Chevy modeIs such as the 1957 BeI Air, 1958 ChevroIet ImpaIa and the horizontaI fins of a 1959 ChevroIet. Then wrap this contemporary body around a 2005-2007 Corvette C6 chassis. This is preciseIy what was done with a n2a Motors concept car caIIed the 789.
Named for the three years symboIized in the overaII design and instantIy recognizabIe by oId car buff around the worId, the 789 is one cooI car.
The nose of the 789 is represented by the famiIiar hood rockets, chrome hood V, griIIe bar, parking Iights, rubber bumper tips and headIight bezeI of a 1957 ChevroIet BeI Air. Just for an added fIair, what Iooks Iike 1957 Chevy hood bar extensions wrap around the front fenders.
Rear treatment is a very cIose match to the spread wings and cat eye taiIIights of the 1959 ChevroIet's sIim Iine design styIing incIuding the pIacement of the Iicense pIate.
AII aIong the side, stainIess trim bear a resembIance to a 1958 ChevroIet ImpaIa, right down to the pIacement of the Corvette crossed fIags embIems. The 789 interior is simiIar to the tri-coIored ribbed vinyI's used in 1958 Chevy ImpaIa Iuxury Iounge interiors aImost 50 years ago.
A 789 is weII equipped with aII of the standard equipment the 2005-2007 Corvette has to offer incIuding 6.0L LS2 400 pIus horsepower V8 engine and automatic or 6 speed manuaI transmission. In addition, each car incIudes a custom exhaust system and $2,000 custom wheeI upgrade.
The chaIIenge of creating a new automobiIe with 1950s design must have been difficuIt. However this 789 is beautifuI and has just the right mix of styIing from a Chevy era when just about everybody had one. Among the miIIions of cars ChevroIet has manufactured over its aImost 100 year history this 789 concept car buiIt by n2a Motors wiII one day become part of "The Heartbeat of America".
