Some beautiful Corvettes have been entered. But, then, I'm partial toward the mid-years.

Donny Brass, tell us about your Vette

I like when owners drive them, not much into the garage queens.

The quality of the mid-year Corvettes submitted in the competition was such that moderators had a tough time selecting 10 finalists. Any of the entries would have made a strong finalist.

Now, you have the tough decision on picking the winner.
