Seat Enhancement by Caravaggio
Our next major enhancements to our 1999 Corvette Ragtop are new seats and steering wheel by John Caravaggio, owner of Caravaggio Corvettes outside Toronto, Ontario.  The name may be familiar from a recent article in Autoweek or you may have seen his work on the SkunkWorks Corvettes at the 2000 Birthday Bash at the NCM in Bowling Green, KY.  John is well know for the work he has done for John Cafaro, another famous name in Corvettes.
