1950s Chevy 789 by N2A
The N2A 789 combines design elements from different classic Chevrolet models: the 1957, 1958 and 1959 Chevys can be recognized in it. This vehicle is built on a 2005-2007 Corvette C6 chassis, virtually the same chassis that won its class at the 24 hours of LeMans for the past few years and is known in the car world as the best value in a performance chassis ever produced.
Why 789?
The front end is (loosely) based on the ’57 Belair, the middle a ’58 Impala and the rear a ’59 Belair. Exciting!
N2A [No Two Alike] Motors Inc. in Corona, California is producing a series of cars to appeal to the true Chevrolet enthusiast who wants to relive the 1950’s styling or visit this era for the first time. The hand-built two-seater cruiser made from the best of Chevy’s late 50’s models is made in a limited number of 50.
Most car enthusiasts recognize the look of a 1957 Chevrolet. In fact, many believe this car represents the essence of the styling of the 1950s when almost all cars could easily be identified by make, model and year. Those were the times when General Motors changed the complete body design of their cars each year in 1957, 1958, and 1959; a feat manufacturers say cannot be done economically today.
The model above is, in fact, a design that features the front end styling of a 1957 Chevrolet Belair, the middle section reflecting a 1958 Chevrolet Impala and the distinctive rear extremity of a 1959 Chevrolet. Thus the model designation, “7-8-9” covers the three years of the most popular Chevrolets of all time.
