He was an avid car collector, and drove manyof his vehicles sparingly during early ownership, then parking asmany as 25 cars in his Los Angeles warehouse. This particular carwas housed in his personal garage near Fairfax & Wilshire Blvd inLos Angeles along with his prized 1959 Cadillac Convertible. ThisCorvette retains a remarkably straight, no hit body with originaldrivetrain! Sadly, Mr. Schroeder passed away in 2003 leaving theCorvette to his daughter, Doris, to restore. Photo documentationsupports this black plate California example had sat unused for thebetter part of 25 years when the car was moved to Bakersfield, CA.She and her husband elected to completely restore the car inframe-off fashion beginning in 2005. It would be completed in 2007with outstanding results! This task would be handled in largeportion by Eye Street Automotive in Bakersfield starting with atotal and complete nut & bolt disassembly. The body would be subletto Ed's Auto Body, also of Bakersfield, for stripping and painting.Ed's Auto Body would hand strip the factory fiberglass, performonly minor body perfections, and seal with PCL primer. After aninitial block sanding, it would receive 4 more coats of primer,block sanded again, sealed with 2 coats of urethane sealer, paintedwith 4-5 coats of urethane Chroma base coat, buried under 4-5 morecoats of Chroma Premier clear, then color sanded and buffed! Theengine and transmission would be totally overhauled by Eye Street,then reinstalled to a fully refurbished and painted chassis alongwith all new suspension, total brake system, new fuel deliverysystem from the tank to fuel pump, and all new cooling system withnew water pump & radiator. The body would be re-mated with freshwiring harnesses, all new interior, and all new weather stripping.It retains all original LOF window glass throughout. This laundrylist of new components is far too long to list, but receipts willbe included. It runs and drives excellently and has been carefullymaintained by only two owners since restoration. The first of thosetwo owners was from Littleton, CO. He had the complete airconditioning system converted to a modern R134a system in June 2015with a new compressor and engine thermostat. The next St. Louis, MOowner would add the side pipes for a more aggressive sound andQuartz clock to ensure all features were fully functional. Alwaysstored in a proper garage environment all its life, and neverdriven in inclement weather, it makes for an excellent collectionpiece! This is an opportune chance to acquire a beautiful, highoption Corvette in a very rare color combination! All records andownership documentation will be provided to the next owner. Themileage today reads just 48,007 miles which are believed to beactual, and loosely documented through original titles and servicerecords. We encourage all prospective buyers to visit our showroomto see this car in person! And, as always, you are welcome to callwith any questions! Thanks for looking!
