Hi black mamba, The only shot I really liked was the last one of the old old old racer, It was really well done.

"nothing personal against you or your work, I just don't fancy corvettes at all, I know I'm an American who doesn't like vettes.

Howdy Tom,

Another great series of well shot images, and the History you've included really is neat, I can't believe how neat that one was where he took delivery of is, drove all night, to race the next Morning<G> I'll bet that was quite a "Night Drive"

Take care, and Have a Great Weekend,

Craig

Hi Jack,

The '57 Vette is one of my all-time favorites. I didn't get my own first Vette unti 1967.....I traded in a 1964 GTO for it. Gosh, I really miss those years and the kind of cars we had to chose from.

Hi Azzaro,

Weren't those great times. I'm afraid this country is never again going to enjoy the peace and serenity we had then.

Hey Chile Chef....

To each his own. I, personally, have loved some Corvettes.....not cared too much for others. The " coke bottle " series, starting with the '68 model, are my least favorite. But the Corvette is a true icon of American motoring if there has ever been one.

Hey Craig,

I wish there was some way to share the experience of a show like this with some of you guys....until then, I'll just have to post the pictures that I take. I'm glad they strike a positive cord with those that share my passion for these things.

Take care,

Tom

Hi Skippy,

Somehow I knew that the older car ( Bugatti ) would be the one to strike your fancy. My brother-in-law and I are in the process of acquiring a '66 Corvette that we will restore for everyday street use. It won't be a show car....just something we can use to step back in time with and have a good time.

Please post some more pictures.
