From Kansas to Destin, in this classy ride

By
Real Estate Agent with 100% Realty, Inc.

I happened across this beautiful 1957 Chrevolet in Destin Communs, today, and just had to stop, quick draw my trusty digital camera, and get the drop on the target!!  Is this a beauty!  Now, here's the best part.  The owner caught me dead to rights photographing his Chevy, and assessed me a charge of 25 cents.  So we struck up a conversation and this is what I learned.  As many of you know, many classic car owners keep their treasures in a special garage, protecting them from rain, sunlight, and of course, the worst of all, we the viewing public!  But not Frank Marstall,the owner of this classic '57 Chevy.  Frank, his wife, and their son make the pilgrimage to Destin, Florida, annually, all the way from Topeka, Kansas, and in this ride.  We'd like to hook the Marstall's up with a great real estate deal in Destin, and keep them (and the 57 Chevy) here all year round.  Welcome to Destin 2007, Frank and family, and thanks for driving the Chevrolet!

That's a gorgeous car but I don't know that I would want to make the trek from Kansas in any kind of car. I'm originally from Wichita Kansas and that's an awful lot of country to cover.

Robert - Love that car!  I can feel see the pride Mr & Mrs Marstall have in that car!  That is a long trip, I am sure they enjoy every minute of it.  Not for my however.  lol

Carole, that car really takes me back...  I remember when they came on the market.  I thought the 55 Chevy couldn't be improved, then along came the 57....

Marchel, Mr. Marstall seems to be a fearless person.  And you know he enjoys being that car, and I think he does the maintenance.  It has a new 350 cubic inch big block Chevy with a 4-bold main under the hood, and a number of other things to keep it young and healthy.

What a beautiful car- I would take a road trip in it. There's plenty of room to stretch out in those antique cars (and large trunks for all of that shopping along the way!). Nice Post!

Joe, this was the icon of the late 50's.  Has anything topped it since (with 4 wheels, I mean)?
