Default Fulfilling the Dream of getting his "1st" Corvette...check.pics

Richard B from Georgia contacted me last week and said he is seeking that elusive 1st Corvette and that our inventory had it. We made the deal in minutes and he asked me to call Plycon trucking for a shipping quote. Richard picked out this Velocity Yellow 2LT 6spd manual, chrome wheels and full width spoiler on line and yesterday Plycon picked it up for delivery to his driveway. The roads around Atlanta has a new Corvette to wave to.

They don't....the loader stays in the car until it reaches it's destination. Meals are served through a tube.

Great to see that dream fulfilled! I waited 53 years for my '13 GS, that I got just a few months ago.

Enjoy!

^ With all due respect, that's not true - such a 'car guy story' . . . . truth is, the loader takes his meals for the trip with him when he gets into the car to load . . . . . . .

the real unsolved mystery is what he does for bathroom needs along the way . . . . .

Thanks for correcting me. I guess it's the waste that's handled through a tube.
