~Mid January means mid Winter to me so we are half way to Spring. Still busy every day selling Corvettes but I'd like to be able to drive mine as well. This week I wrote Factory orders for folks from: Boca Raton, FL, Bronxville, NY, Towson, MD, Brooklyn, Ohio, Townsend, DE, Peoria, AZ and Stevenson Ranch, Calif.
~For this Feb 6th Target Production Week alone here are the Corvette orders getting produced that week...



The anticipation begins when talking about the order, color combo and options etc...that is when most people after figuring it all out...start cleaning up their garage!
----------------------------------------
~*On a personal note. I have received hundreds of emails and PM's over the last several years asking how my son Tyler is doing. 4 yrs ago he had been hit by a speeding car and then I had posted his story 3+ years ago when he needed surgery again.

*Well this past week Tyler Graduated College. He took classes from home and got his degree from University of Maryland UC. We could not be more proud of his ability to stay on task and complete something he really wanted to finish. So Thank you for all that asked about him and your thoughts were very much appreciated.
-----------------------------------------

~Larry J. from Livingston, Texas called me of several months ago and he wanted to order a 2017 Collectors Edition so we put everything in motion and waited for his special allocation. Friday he took delivery at the Corvette Museum with his wife Dawn and below are their pictures. The Museum did a fantastic job as always. CE#229~Has a 7spd manual trans, dual body color roof Pkg with transparent top and much more! Watkins Glen Gray with Tension Blue...just open the hood and instant Car Show!!











~Donnie L. from Frederick, MD unbeknownst to him had his wife call me a week before Christmas as she wanted to surprise him on the 25th. She backed off that idea and the two of them picked out this 750 mile barely used 2016 Stingray Z51 in Torch Red and Auto trans. Donnie also owns a C4. Donnie runs the Family Farm and also has a Carriage Company and they do night rides in Frederick.











~Many other off site deliveries and shy Corvette customers on site. I will post them next week.







~ Throwback pictures/ads etc....

Mike, that's great news about your son Tyler. Congratulations to him, you and your family.

Luckily he made it, it could have been worse. Not being able to protect your children, them being so vulnerable out int he world weighs on me daily. And I have girls!!

but obviously we all have our own crosses to bear...

I hope his pain has subsided at least to where he is "used" to it.


Great thread, the pics are fantastic. i am learning to like the C3's more and more every week, thanks for the most part by the pics in these threads.. especially the early years...

Love those classic pics, and the Watkins Glen Gray w/Tension Blue is my favorite color combination to date.

Thank you Sir. Just last week I was just thinking of you and your wife and when you visited me here at Criswell late 2013(?). Time flies my friend. Take care and I hope to see you both again someday.
