1961 Pro Touring Corvette

The E-Z UP name is synonymous with quality and originality. That is what inspired the build of our iconic '61 Pro Touring Corvette. It is the combined effort of authentic, classic design meeting genuine innovation.

UP For Innovation

Approaching this project with innovation in mind, Brian Stupski at Problem Child Kustoms was brought in to assist getting our ideas down in sketch form. Once settled on a direction, Hot Rods and Custom Stuff was slated to make those sketches a reality. Like any high-quality product it didn't happen overnight. A lot of hard work, creativity, and perseverance finally produced the Corvette we're proud to present here. Look closely, the innovation is in the details!

UPGrades

Producing a work of art takes plenty of forethought, innovation, and a high level of quality and attention to detail to make it look E-Z. Following the same approach as our E-Z UP® Instant Shelter® products, the '61 Corvette shows innovation and quality in every detail.
