    The converted golf cart.

    When most people think of American cars from the 1950s, the car that comes to mind is the 1957 Chevy. Its sleek lines and distinctive tail fins defined the era. Now anyone can have that same '57 Chevy look -- on a golf cart. In this show, we take an ordinary Club Car golf-cart and transform it into a 1957-Chevy replica. First we strip off the old cart body. Then we perform a few maintenance checks and clean up the cart frame. Next we prepare the new 57 Chevy parts for installation. Finally, we install the new Chevy body and add all the trim features. The end result is a fun, colorful ride that has all the style of the original.
