Just had to take another look at those pictures of Malcolm Konner Chevrolet. I remember that place very well and went to many of their shows.

Great history lesson. Got any idea what the red car with the gullwing doors was?

1986 Chevrolet Corvette Indy Concept. The 1986 Chevrolet Corvette Indy Concept was constructed in 1985 and first shown at the Detroit Auto Show in 1986. This was an inoperative show car.

4 Sterling Blue C7 deliveries last week...... On the very same day! WHEW!!! That has to be a record unto itself.

Konner was a true visionary right from the get go in the world of Corvettes. Bordering on a clairvoyant. Your write up and pictorial on Konner was epic, and one for the ages.

Really like those optional black with red striped wheels on the WGG ZO6. Works great with the interior as well.

Genovation Corvette GS ZO7...... That Corvette doesn't seem to appear on your 140 unit (plus) C7 Corvette on the ground inventory at Criswell Chevrolet Gaithersburg MD. I suspect that you may have transitioned that car from your Criswell Chevrolet Thurmont MD. dealership inventory. Good thing that C7 has the very rare J57 Brembo Carbon-Ceramic brake option for those world record setting high speed runs (and stops!) over 200MPH!
