THE LAST OF A 66-YEAR CORVETTE TRADITION.
TWO AVAILABLE · EACH INDIVIDUALLY COMMISSIONED
BEFORE EVERYTHING CHANGED.
For 66 years, Corvette followed a basic formula.
Engine up front.
Driver behind it.
Power to the rear wheels.
Long hood.
Two seats.
American V8.
Then came the C7.
Produced from 2014 through 2019, the seventh-generation Corvette became the final evolution of the traditional front-engine Corvette.
The C8 that followed changed everything.
Which makes the C7 something increasingly significant:
THE LAST OF THE ORIGINAL FORMULA.
And this is where its driver sat.
ALL BLACK.
NOTHING TO PROVE.
The AutoStuhl C7 Final Front-Engine Edition begins with an authentic all-black C7 Corvette front seat.
Sculpted.
Purposeful.
Understated.
Unmistakably automotive.
We take that original Corvette seat and transform it into something Chevrolet never offered:
A handcrafted executive chair built to become the centerpiece of an office, home or automotive collection.
Not Corvette-inspired.
Not a replica.
The genuine automotive seat, given an entirely new life.
CORVETTE IS WHERE OUR STORY BEGAN.
This particular AutoStuhl has a connection to our own history.
In 1999, more than a quarter-century ago, the idea that eventually became AutoStuhl began with Corvette.
Under an official Corvette license, we created heirloom-quality furniture incorporating Corvette seating from multiple generations.
The idea was simple:
WHY SHOULD GREAT AUTOMOTIVE SEATING ONLY BE ENJOYED WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING?
Twenty-six years later, we're still answering that question.
The cars have evolved.
Our craftsmanship has evolved.
Our fabrication has evolved.
But Corvette remains part of the DNA of AutoStuhl.
This isn't where we're borrowing heritage.
It's where ours began.
THE LAST FRONT-ENGINE CORVETTE.
For the Corvette enthusiast, that matters.
The C7 wasn't simply replaced by a newer version of itself.
It was the end of an architecture.
After C7, the engine moved behind the driver.
The proportions changed.
The experience changed.
Corvette entered an entirely new era.
The C7 therefore represents the final chapter of the Corvette layout generations of owners grew up loving.
Maybe your Corvette is a C2.
A C4.
A C5.
A C6.
A C7.
Or the new C8.
It doesn't matter.
If you're a Corvette person, you understand:
THE LAST OF SOMETHING MATTERS.
CORVETTE BUILT THE SEAT.
AUTOSTUHL BUILDS EVERYTHING BENEATH IT.
We could bolt an authentic Corvette seat onto a cheap imported office-chair base.
We won't.
That would completely miss the point.
AutoStuhl builds a substantial purpose-designed fabricated steel foundation underneath it.
Heavy-duty casters.
Engineered mounting.
Individually fabricated components.
Careful finishing.
Hand assembly.
We build around one very simple philosophy:
THE FOUNDATION SHOULD DESERVE THE SEAT.
Because heirloom quality isn't about making the parts everybody sees look expensive.
It's about refusing to make the parts they don't see cheap.
YOU PROBABLY SPEND MORE TIME HERE THAN IN YOUR CORVETTE.
Eight hours.
Ten hours.
Sometimes twelve.
You worked hard enough to drive something you actually wanted.
Why spend the majority of your working day sitting in something anonymous?
Automotive manufacturers spend enormous resources developing seating people can comfortably occupy for hours.
AutoStuhl takes that engineering somewhere it was never supposed to go.
BEHIND YOUR DESK.
THEN SOMEONE WALKS INTO YOUR OFFICE.
They notice it.
Something looks familiar.
The shape.
The bolsters.
The automotive proportions.
A Corvette person will probably figure it out first.
“WAIT...IS THAT ACTUALLY A CORVETTE SEAT?”
Yes.
C7.
The last front-engine Corvette generation.
And AutoStuhl built everything around it.
That's when an office chair becomes something considerably more interesting.
It becomes a story you get to tell.
TWO ORIGINAL SEATS.
TWO 1-OF-1 AUTOSTUHLS.
We have two authentic all-black C7 seats available for this edition.
But we're not building two identical chairs.
Each is individually commissioned for its owner.
Your seat.
Your configuration.
Your Signature Panels.
Your commission number.
Your Certificate of Provenance.
When we're finished:
YOURS IS 1 OF 1.
The other owner may begin with the matching C7 seat.
They won't own your AutoStuhl.
NOW MAKE IT ABOUT YOUR CORVETTE STORY.
This is where it becomes personal.
We can create bespoke laser-cut stainless steel Signature Panels specifically for your commission.
Your Corvette's silhouette.
Your VIN.
Your racing number.
The year of your first Corvette.
Your company logo.
Your family crest.
Your initials.
Your signature.
A favorite verse.
A personal motto.
A significant date.
The year you founded your company.
Or something meaningful that nobody else even needs to understand.
Not printed.
Not embroidered.
Not a decal.
YOUR STORY, PRECISION-CUT INTO STAINLESS STEEL.
Maybe this seat didn't come from your Corvette.
That's irrelevant.
The finished AutoStuhl can still tell your Corvette story.
THE ONE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SOLD.
Almost every serious car person has one.
Maybe yours was a Corvette.
The color.
The year.
The engine.
The sound.
The road trip.
The first time you opened it up.
The day you sold it.
And the moment sometime later when you realized:
That was a mistake.
Put its year on your AutoStuhl.
Its silhouette.
Its VIN if you still have it.
A date.
A phrase.
Make the chair about the Corvette that actually matters to you.
That's something ordinary Corvette memorabilia can't do.
BUILT TO BE USED.
Please don't put it behind a rope.
Sit in it.
Work in it.
Take meetings in it.
Read in it.
Think in it.
Build something in it.
Put it behind your executive desk.
In your home office.
Your boardroom.
Your study.
Your automotive collection.
Your garage.
Beside the Corvette.
This is functional automotive art.
And unlike the Corvette...
you don't need good weather to enjoy it.
CERTIFICATE OF PROVENANCE
Every C7 Final Front-Engine Edition receives an individual AutoStuhl Certificate of Provenance documenting its second life.
Original C7 Corvette seat provenance.
AutoStuhl commission number.
Completion date.
Configuration.
Materials and finishes.
Signature Panel design.
Original AutoStuhl commission.
And its connection to the generation that closed one of the longest chapters in American sports-car history.
