Default Classic Corvette Museum, Ft. Wayne, In. Dial up Death!

Last week, I went back to Ft. Wayne and DTE did a few touch ups to Triple Silver and added a DeWitts aluminum radiator. While there, I had the opportunity to visit the Classic Corvette Musuem. Wow what a load of pristine cars! One of every year from '53 through '71

















Pace Car Line up





ZR1 with 94 miles and GS with 100 miles


One of a kind Yenko Wildfire.Ron Fellows Z06 on the end





All these cars are owned By Keith Busse!

Very nice! I drive by there all the time and there never seems to be anyone there. Their website says to check ahead before coming. I guess it was your lucky day and they were open. Looks like you were the only one in the place. Have been wondering what the heck they had in there. Now I know. Thanks!

Paul, the pictures don't do it justice. I spoke with the docent and she said that they sold 14 cars from the collection the week before and that there were several in the shop 'getting worked on'. Hey, if I had the money, I would have one like it!
