Welcome to Concept 57.

CC Industries has brought a timeless body style into the new millennium. The Concept 57 body is a faithful reproduction of the original 57 Corvette body with quality, accuracy and durability never before available.

If you are restoring an original '56 or '57 Corvette, you can save hundreds of hours and thou­sands of dollars with this brand new state of the art body. The Concept 57 uses all factory or reproduction parts, enabling you to use all of your original parts or go for new and reproduction parts.

The Concept body maintains a total stock appear­ance from any vantage point — under hood, inte­rior, exterior and underside and bolts directly to your original frame using stock body mounts. Concept 57 bodies come with an ivory gel-coat and are ready for preparation and finish paint. They are designed to use all original and repro­duction parts. This includes engine compartment hardware, interior and exterior trim pieces, trunk and floor pan hardware.
