The beautiful 1957 Chevrolet Corvette pictured is owned by longtime members, Dick & Roberta Robinson. They, and their son, Bill, reside in Fort Washington, PA.

Dick is the brother of another longtime member, Bob Robinson, and the son of one of our club’s founding members, Robert Robinson, Sr., who was the club’s second President (1957).

As a result of having a father involved in the hobby, Dick began working on his father’s 1914 Ford when he was 12 years old. In his teenage years he worked on his father’s brass era and classic cars. He then got interested in V8 Ford hot rods. He restored a brass 1913 Hupmobile, then V8 Fords, and for the last 22 years has restored Corvettes.

In 2001, after searching for nearly 14 years for an original, unmolested, late serial number ‘57 Corvette, Dick found this one in New Jersey. He then did a complete restoration of all the original components to factory appearance and performance.

The corvette has a 283 cubic inch/283 HP fuel injected engine with a 4-speed transmission and posi-traction rear. It also has aluminum body bracing, radio and heater, and two tops.
