grabbing, envy-producing, one-of-a-kind automobile, and you can drive it 190 miles an

timeless, new, classic beauty!

How did it happen?
Fred shared recently with MyBestYears.
com, “I was at the Atlantic City Collector
Car Show Event with George Kerbeck,
the world’s largest Corvette dealer, and
he mentioned that he was thinking
about taking sheet metal from three
different Chevys—`57, `58 and `59—to
conglomerate them into one car. I said,
`George, what a great idea. Let me
have my designers do something with
that idea for you.’ I called out to
California, gave them the idea for the
`57 front, the `58 middle and the `59
back. I said, `Draw something!’ A half-
hour later they came back to me with
an ink sketch that is almost exactly
dead-on to what you see today.”
Fred and everyone involved with
Kanter Concepts and n2a Motors
seemed to know that the car would
be special.
“It’s true,” he says. “From the minute
George said what he did and the
picture of what I wanted popped into my
head, I knew it was going to be a hit. I
really felt that it would touch people’s
emotions.
Though the cars each have a unique
color design (no two alike, remember!),
all are built on a Corvette C6 chassis
(yes, the same frame that won its class
at Lemans the past few years!). Car
enthusiasts almost unanimously agree
that the C6 is the best performance
chassis ever built.

And anywhere there are get-togethers of people who love
exciting, memorable cars, you will hear excited conversations
about the 789 by Kanter’s n2a Motors (no two alike!).
With the first of his concept cars, Fred Kanter has re-
introduced emotion and passion into the automobile
world again!
Named for the three Chevrolets that inspired the sweepingly
breath-taking design, the car is a timeless blend of the 1957
Bel-Air front and its distinctive “hooded eye” headlights and
chrome grill bar, the 1958 Impala’s mid-body and unique three-
toned interior, and the 1959’s jet-winged tailfins.
