"Nice. Have you owned that car since the 50s?" nope, i don't even own it now. it belongs to Les the guy i work for, it sat in a L.A. garage from 59-99 when he got it. all it needed to drive was a torque tube coupler, and fresh fluids/hoses/belts/battery he drove it like that for a little then had the 57 corvette 283 rebuilt and hasn't really done much else to it other than drive it.
