Roger Schmidt’s Fawn Beige 1961 Chevy® Corvette® with white cove and red interior is a rare color combination. From the factory, only 358 were painted two-tone Fawn Beige and white. Adding to its rarity, a fraction of those had the red interior option! Roger has owned this car since 1989. He and his dad put over 2000 hours into meticulously restoring the mechanical components before bringing it back to life in 1992! After meeting Roger at the 2017 MCACN, photographing his car, and hearing his story, Auto World is honored to replicate this award-winning Corvette® in factory-matched paint, red interior, and 230hp 283ci engine.

Prior to October of 2010, breaking into the 9s was a myth… the longest of long shots. One man, Lane Carey, wasn’t buying it. Not only did he think it was possible, he knew he would do it. Instead of altering his prized numbers-matching 1970 Torino Cobra, he found the perfect formula for success by purchasing the lighter 1971 Mustang Mach 1 and swapping its 302 for a complete 429 Super Cobra Jet that he already owned. The 429 was a subtle option for the 1971 Mustang that only savvy buyers knew how to order from the factory, even though it wasn’t mentioned in most of Ford’s literature. With that knowledge, Lane knew the motor would fit. His record-breaking stallion rocked Cecil County Raceway in Rising Sun, Maryland in October, 2010 setting a new series record. He didn’t just tickle the upper 9.9s, he dove deep to a record of 9.83! Lane Carey’s 429 SCJ Mustang is synonymous with words like “historic,” “legendary,” and of course “quick.”

One of Melanie Mauser’s first Buicks was the 1970 Buick GS 455 which was her pride and joy. After a tragic car fire, many Buicks followed, but her heart was set on finding another GS. About six years ago, she found “Sweet Pea”, a numbers matching car, for sale by the original owner. It was ordered from a Buick catalog in Paris, then delivered to the East Coast. It had been driven for a number of years before being stored. She looked tired, but Melanie felt that with the proper restoration, “Sweet Pea” would shine again. Accuracy is critical for a proper restoration. Years of knowledge and the additional support of her local Buick clubs, of which she has been a member for 40 years, was invaluable. This Buick has won both the Senior Gold from the Buick Club of America, as well as Concours Gold from the MCACN.
