Default A '65 and a '67

Back in high school (graduated 1975) I had a buddy who shared my love of Corvettes. This April he bought a '67, and this May I bought a '65. Yesterday our cars met for the first time. Great day.

You can buy a cover from most of the vendors. Using a towel works fine BUT be sure to weight it down with something, I used a wrench 'till someone gave me a cover. I remember one of the guys who posted with a burnt hood did actually have it covered with a towel but a breeze blew it off!

Trust me, Gary... I will get the car a sombrero with a chin strap if I have to! Already bubbled the hood once. (Hardly noticeable)

Great duo but he looks like your son, not a high school buddy.

What a nice, heartwarming car-guy story. One car's Marina with Rallyes, the other Nassau with knock-offs. And they both look great!

Nice to see that you both got the cars you lusted for in High School. Better yet that you are still friends after all these years
