Effingham, Ill. - A 1964 Styling Corvette once owned by Chevrolet General Manager Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen will be featured by Mid America Motorworks in Booth 24297 at this year's SEMA Show, Nov. 1-4, 2011. The fully restored Corvette provides SEMA attendees and exhibitors with a look at GM's history. It is also an example of the interior products available from PERFORMANCE CHOICE, Mid America Motorworks' manufacturing division.

PERFORMANCE CHOICE is a leading manufacturer of OE Replacement and custom interiors for the special interest automobile market. The Styling Corvette showcases PERFORMANCE CHOICE's ability to duplicate a one-off interior design created by the GM Styling Center.

"In a sea of Mustangs and Camaros, you seldom find a classic Corvette in this condition at SEMA," said Mike Yager, Mid America Motorworks founder and Chief Cheerleader. "This Corvette highlights the custom craftsmanship available at PERFORMANCE CHOICE and gives enthusiasts a glimpse at GM's corporate vision for the future at that time."

The 1964 Corvette was built specifically for Knudsen with a variety of custom features, custom Cadillac Fire Frost Blue paint over a specially prepared body surface. The car still retains the original drive train 327cid/365hp engine and all of the custom parts that were added in the Styling and Engineering departments. Other highlights include a specially designed hood with custom large depressions, unique front bumper treatment, custom high back bucket seats with all white leather trim, custom Cadillac cut-pile carpeting, special toe board stainless polished grates and one-off door panels with power windows and power vent wings.
