Corvettes at Carlisle

Corvettes were packed as far as the eye could see, including vintage rides, high-octane racers, and, of course, the new 2020 C8. 

Recently, thousands of Corvettes descended onto the Carlisle Fairgrounds in Pennsylvania for the yearly ‘Vette event: Corvettes at Carlisle 2019. This was an especially exciting year at the event, with buzz about the 2020 C8 all around. Chevy didn’t disappoint, bringing 14 all-new 2020 C8 Corvettes to Carlisle for to all to see and experience. But the true star was the Corvette. Every generation was represented, every color, everything you could and would want to see was there. And they were stunning.

There were easily over 5,000 Corvettes at the show. Some ‘Vettes were displayed in the Fun Field, which broke attendance records for 2019. There were Corvettes and Corvette enthusiasts en masse; as well as a sea of vendors, the busy midway, an expansive automotive flea market, tech talks, racing legends, and competitions and exhibitions.

Here are a few of our favorite show stoppers.
