Default photo id church of the holy donut Burtonsville md

Hey guys,

I took a photo last year at the church of the Holy Donut held in Burtonsville, MD on Sundays. I also work for the Discovery Channel and they want to use the picture for promotional purposes for our new car channel, Turbo. I want to id the exact year of the Corvette in the picture plus try and figure out who owns it.

I'd appreciate any help.



warm regards

Ken Visser


And just for informational purposes, church is still going on. The cars are fewer and the lies are bigger. But if the weather is nice, use it as an excuse to fire up your fun car and stop on by. This past year we had one of those occasional warm days in January and over 70 cars showed up!

Couldn't it also be a 1961? I know that solid colors were the only option in 1962, but I thought you had a choice in 61 as well?

I have a solid color 61. The difference is that 61 had the side molding for the cove and 62 did not. Only about 30% of the 61's actually came with two tone paint. The nose emblem for 62 has a circle around the flags, 61 did not. Other minor differences that aren't evident in the picture. No wide white walls in 62, chrome grille in 61, darker grille in 62.

Thanks for all the responses. Do you know the owner? I'd like to get a release from him. I'm sure he'll be back to church but its a matter of when.

The Cobra is from an out of business company from Oklahoma.

regards

You may want to post this also in C1-C2 section, if you haven't already done so.

Where exactly is this "the church of the Holy Donut" held in Burtonsville, MD and when do people start showing up?

It's supposed to be real nice tomorrow and I need to road test my new Escort 8500 that Santa brought me!
