The biggest auto news of 1957 was the introduction of "Ramjet" fuel injection manufactured by GM's Rochester carburetor division and developed by John Dolza, E.A. Kehoe, Donald Stoltman and Corvette chief engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov. It was optional equip- ment on the 1957 Corvette engines, and could also be had on V-8's powering any other Chevrolet car. The first Rochester fuel injection unit was #7014360. Very early units did not have the familiar black Rochester Products I.D. tag, and the unit number (serial) was stamped into the lower front of the plenum vertical face. Early plenums had the "Winters Snowflake" cast in the ribbed area of the plenum. Research shows that in very early 1957, production with the 4360-fuel injection unit used the 1957 Corvette-style air cleaner. The passenger car F.l. air cleaner was not available early in the 1957 production year." As a result, assembly line workers installed the Corvette-style chrome air cleaner to this already special convertible.
Purchased from an Automobile Museum
Full frame off restoration in 1999 costing over $100,000
