50th Anniversary Celebration!
Reaching 50 years of production is not an easy task for any product, but especially a car. But then, the Corvette is more than just another car. It's a way of life. We want to celebrate the 50th Anniversary with a year long gallery of real (1:1) Corvettes from our contributors.
On March 7th, 1994, I became the proud owner of a partially
assembled '70, plus a truckload of parts. An eternal work in
progress, my '70 is a Bridgehamptom blue T-top car with the base
350-300 engine with Automatic. It is a great weekend driver.
Robert
Wheeler (Rockglen, Saskatchewan Canada) is one of the founding
members of our site. His '88 coupe is pampered with great care.
You can find him every year at the North Dakota Black Hills
Corvette reunion.
Jay L. Kovar (Texarkana, Texas) has modified his already cool
Quicksilver 2001 convertible with a Vararam air induction,
K&N filter, TriFlow Headers leading to an x-pipe and B&B
PRT straight thru exhausts. He has a lso added the GS stripe,
black leather roll bars (not seen in photo), and the
obligatory Escort 8500 Passport radar detector. Quoting him
"Uncorking the LS-1 has already reduced the 18" rears
to asphalt crayons!"
Robert Smith is the
proud owner of not one but two C4 Corvettes! The torch red car is
a 1993 coupe with black leather interior, and the green (which
was originally red) is a 1986 coupe with saddle interior.
David Palmeter took delivery of his own white with red interiors
coupe at the National Corvette Museum on April 17, 2001.
David's quote: "It is our 2001
Chevrolet Corvette Coupe with a 6-spd, Z51 suspension, the Big
Package with all the "Shameful Luxo Stuff". It was
delivered to us at the National Corvette Museum on April 17, 2001
and we have over 20,000 miles. We have driven it to both coasts
on two different trips. And, yes, it did make the mandatory Route
66 run! Retirement and a Corvette - what a life!"

Jeff Robinson from British Columbia is the
proud owner on this super clean '93 LT-1 Coupe, fully loaded 6 speed. Jeff
is the original owner and he has just recently replaced the factory tires and
the car still has the original windshield washer fluid!
