1959 Lister-Chevrolet at Austin’s Vintage Races

Written by Ken Altes

Caught this last October at COTA. Lister was a British car manufacturer, made a number of race cars in the 1950s and later. This  race car body was designed by aerodynamicist Frank Costin for the 1959 season, powered by a 331 cu. in. Corvette engine.  However, it was immediately made obsolete by the new rear-engined Cooper race cars.Lister-Chevrolet Vintage Race car in Austin TXLister-Chevrolet Vintage Race car in Austin TX.COTAJPGLister-Chevrolet Vintage Race car in Austin TexasLister-Chevrolet Vintage Race car in Austin TX emblem
