I bought my 1965 maroon convertible as my first birthday present to myself after I graduated from college . Still parked in my garage.

Took delivery on my 66' Roadster in early 1966. That means almost 51 years of continuous ownership. Had a 58' prior to that for three years.

Fell in love and bought my '62 in June 1987. After reading, it's only been 29 wonderful years.

Hey Jim,

I don't want to hijack the thread!

Plus there's plenty of threads on this forum located in the archives.

Merry Christmas to you and your family Jim!

Bought my (originally a "feulie") "nom" '62 April 1967; will have had it for 50 years next April. I have business cards from 4 guys who figure I'll be selling once I hit 50 years of ownership (maybe they're right) but none mention $$$! Paid $1600 w/hardtop. Plan was to keep it a year, get it "outta my system" and sell if for $100 less than I paid for it. In 1968, a couple of salesmen from the Canonsburg (Yenko?) stopped by & offered me $100 MORE than I paid for it!...and I was thinkin'...what's WRONG with this picture? 49+ years later, STILL "in love"!

Great looking '61 Klaus!

The wheel selection really sets it off.

And a cool picture as well.

The corvette looks great on film and has a great story behind it I love it! You have a Nomad sister waiting to see her sister Merry Christmas and much love to your entire family and may the logs burn bright:party ::par ty::p arty: :part y::pa rty:: party::party ::par ty:

Early 1973 picked up the '61 for $1500, was a 21 year old kid at the time. Still a great ride even though I'm an older kid. It's pretty impressive how many long time owners there are.

I bought my 1958 in the Spring of 1976. Teardrop bubble on the hood, L 60's on chrome reverse rims on the rear, battery in the trunk, 2 1/2 lift (gasser look) fenderwell headers, wrong seats, wrong steering wheel. Ah, to be young and dumb again. Wiring, interior, tops and a lot of little stuff and I might just make it totally pretty again. I might set a record for the longest restoration time in the history of this forum.

I hope y'all enjoy the Holidays and stay healthy and safe.

Where's SWC Duke? He is the original owner of his '63.

I've only owned my present 1966 Convertible for 27 years...

I knew this would happen. My 39 years of ownership won't even get me into the 2nd tier of this ranking.

I keep my cars like my wife spends $$$$$$ I am not even going to list the longest I have owned any one of my Corvettes, I can not get past the warranty time. But I will be keeping my 67 Coupe as long as am still able to drive .

67 Corvette, 47 years in my family. I remember riding/bouncing around in the back with our dog Lily when I was 4 and waiting outside with my sister in the early 80s listening for the sound of the exhaust to know our Dad was coming home. Great memories. 30 years later, I am proud to have it in my garage and keeping the love of Corvettes alive in the family. Cheers!
