In answer to my question about photographing Corvettes at the event and selecting from those photographs a possible future diecast model, Tom said:

“Yes, we will be photographing cars at the event. We'll have a professional photographer at
the show and we will be selecting cars to appear in future retail assortments, Your Car Is The Star programs and our newest program, Calendar Girls, where we feature a diecast replica with collector car photo calendar and model.”
