CORVETTEINSPIRED
This 1990s golf cart inspired by Clare R. MacKichan, the designer of the original Corvette
It is highly unlikely that your favorite golf club would
allow you to drive your classic car onto the course
while hitting the links, but this is to protect the grass
rather than from lack of style.
This customized 1994 Club Car Golf Cart models
itself on a 1957 Chevrolet, one of America’s most
recognizable cars in both sedan and station wagon
form. Despite its name, it actually went into pro-
duction in 1956, coming with either a ‘Blue Flame’
straight-six engine or one of two V8 options, at
265ci and 283ci.
Its iconic front end, which also adorns the front of
the golf cart, was designed by Clare R. MacKichan
in 1954. MacKichan was chief designer of Chevrolet
Studio, and directly responsible for the design of
the first ever Corvette, and subsequent redesigns in
the 1950s and ‘60s. Surprisingly, MacKichan also lat-
er acted as director of design for Opel in Germany.

He became synonymous with the Chevrolet, and
especially the original Corvette, and after his death
was added to the Corvette Hall of Fame in 2011.
The golf cart itself has a gas engine - nothing mas-
sive, but enough to take it up any golf course hillock
without an issue, and has a AM/FM radio stereo kit.
In typical high-end Chevrolet style, it has chrome
wheels and can be
used as either a two
or four-seater, with
space at the back
for your clubs, balls,
and spare checked
trousers. Russo and
Steele will be selling
the golf cart at its
Scottsdale auction
on January 18/19
next year.
