Default My '65 in the Sedona red rocks

I see a lot of pictures of members cars that quite frankly look like they are professionally done. I have a cheap camera and my pictures are certainly not in the same class as some I have seen on this forum but thought some of you might enjoy them anyway.

I took a few pictures of my 1965 with the Sedona red rocks in the background yesterday.

If you have never been to Sedona check it out someday—it is beautiful.

You have the perfect color to compliment the red rocks. Yeah, Sedona is unbeatable for spectacular rock formations right in town. Been there several times, it never gets old.

We just visited Sedona in September a couple months ago. Stayed at the Enchantment.
Wonderful place and our hot air balloon ride was a check off the bucket list.
Good looking car!

Been visiting the southwest all my life (grandparents worked for Dept. of Indian Affairs in the '20's-'30's and Dad lived in Fort Defiance until '39).....and it never gets old. Just may retire there, if things work out. Beautiful country....and a pretty nice StingRay, too!

I visited Sedona in Nov '10, really loved it there and wouldn't mind living there. Car looks great, area is great, enjoy them both as much as you can .Life is short.

Sedona is an incredible place, but this is what I take when I'm there.

In '05 I took all of July off from work so that my wife and I could travel across the U.S., coast to coast We spent a couple of days in Sedona and it was one th biggest highlights of that trip. At 5 a.m. I was out in the desert to start taking sunrise pictures. The lighting on the rocks is awesome at dawn, and the colors are very vivid, changing by the minute. By mid day they are washed out by the intense sun.

Yes, they definitely change throughout the day with the light. You should see them when the are wet from the rain, they look like satin.

That's some great scenery (very interesting house in the background too) that makes for the perfect backdrop for a Corvette.

Default Beautiful!

I keep meaning to take my '66 up there for a run through Oak Creek Canyon. Just stunning country.

I flew into Cedar City Utah & did the full Utah circle of all the national parks this summer, I had no idea how awesome all 1008 miles of driving on that trip would be. I even stopped to look at a 65 Nassau Blue roadster that was advertised locally for sale near St George Utah while I was out there.

We live in upstate NY and I can say that Sedona is one of the most scenic locations I've ever been through. Beautiful pictures of your ride !!!

I was there in May 16. There is a little museum there about the movies and actors that spent time there. The whole time I was there I was wishing I had a corvette to drive.
