Everyone knows the Jenners–for one reason or another. But not everyone knows about the family’s love for ‘Vettes. We were certainly shocked to find out about the family’s love of Corvettes.
It’s no secret that Caitlyn is a gearhead, competing professionally as a racecar driver in the IMSA Camel GT Series throughout the ’80s, and has now passed down her love for cars to her two daughters.
Sure, most celebrities these days are sporting ‘Rarris and Lambos, as are Kendall and Kylie. But, Kendall also has a somewhat unlikely vehicle for someone her age– a fully restored, 100 percent original, baby blue 1956 Corvette. Good choice, Kendall.
Jay Leno recently visited Caitlyn and Kendall to film for an upcoming episode of Jay Leno’s Garage. He brought along a brand new Grand Sport for some comparison, pointing out its carbon ceramic brakes–which Leno refers to “carbon fiber”–and 8-speed transmission, he claims it is the “performance bargain of the century,” coming in at $66,000.
But, on the flip side, Caitlyn mentions the value of Kendalls ’56. It is 100 percent numbers matching and has been immaculately restored by the one and only National Corvette Restoration Society. At the time of its release, the MSRP was a mere $3,194, but, its current value is even more than the brand spankin’ new Grand Sport– a whopping $84,000.
We love both, and allegedly so do the Jenners, but we can’t wait to hear more about this ’56 when the full episode is released. Do you know which one would you choose?
