On “My Car Story” we're in Rosemont IL at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals on 11-18-16.

We’re looking at a 1959 Chevrolet Corvette named the “Purple People Eater” with a 283 engine.

The car's Owner is Lance Miller.  Lance shares how his Dad Chip was on a quest to find the “Purple People Eater” and to his surprise, the car was in the corner of the restoration shop the whole time.

The added bonus, Lance starts this car up and we get to hear what it sounds like from the Winner of the 1959 SCCA National Championship B/Production class.
