Default What are some good car shows to attend if I want to see a LOT of C2 Corvettes?

I'm in the hunt for a nice C2, and I think it would really help me to go to some Car Shows to refine my search and to get more familiar with the paint colors (lots of blues: Marina, Nassau, Lyndale, Daytona, Laguna, etc.), get up close to these classic cars, etc. Right now, I'm located in the middle of the country (Kansas). The only shows that I know of are shows like Bloomington Gold and Carlisle. There are probably others. What are some good car shows I could attend if I want to see a LOT of highly original (not resto mods or resto rods) C2 Corvettes?

Thanks in advance.

Brian

NCRS convention in San Antonio July 9-13 should have some really pristine C-2s.

Yes, you could also just visit ProTeam to look at their inventory, but Carlisle is probably your best bet.

Check out the GOOD GUYS show here in Des Moines! Thousands of cars and early vettes are very well represented and deals are everywhere to be had.

most shows are nothing more then a C4, C5, C6, and C7 show with a few old ones scattered around if you really want to see old ones regional and national NCRS shows will be your best bet.
