Daughter Restores 1960 Corvette Fuelie in Late Father’s Memory

Jamie Fletcher decided to finish what her late father had started in 1974, the restoration of his 1960 Corvette Fuelie; he was never able to finish due to health issues and passed in 2008.

“Alright dad, I’ve lost my mind, I’m going to do this, let’s do this,” said Jamie. “This is something that has been chewing at me my entire life.”

After using up most of her savings, a yearlong restoration, lead by Dan Lardinois of West De Pere, Wisconsin, the car now looks identical to how it looked when her mother and father owned it 40 years ago. It was completed just in time for this year’s past Father’s Day car show, where it was bestowed numerous awards.

“I know my dad’s up there smiling down,” said Jamie.
