I can't speak for others, but for me it's a "touch my soul" motivation. I have always been a Ford guy, but loved the Corvettes from the point that I could drive a car. I have a 1966, factory-Shelby equipped Mustang Fastback, that I bought from the "Dealer delivered owner" in 1972; and I love it. I can't tell you how many Vettes bit the dust in a street drag race with this car - probably not the 365 hp equipped. A couple of months ago I bought a red 1965 C2, show room looks, and all original ex a 1970 350/375 Camaro, performance modified engine - we all love power. I love it same as my Mustang. For me it's not the brand; it's how it represents my passions at significant points in my life. I can't imagine anyone not admiring and wanting both cars - the attention they both draw is amazing.

Non-Corvette
One of my two Non-GM cars. This one customized in the 50's, found in Montana, last licensed in 1963 before my son and I brought it back to life. We just drive it and enjoy it. No worries about paint chips.

In addition to the AVATAR "rides" ('62 Vette owned for 51 years; '96 IMPALA SS/bought new): '57 Lincoln Premiere Landau (1st year for 4-dr Hard-Top) + '50 OLDS "88" 4-dr with "Factory to Dealer/Show-Room Use ONLY" plexiglas hood introduced in 1949 to show-case the new OVH V8. Fourth time I've owned a '50 "88", with the first one was also my "first car of my own"...

My first car was one of Henry's creations. I actually had hair then and was skinny as a rail................a far cry from me today. I was 16 and the car was 12 in this pic, so do the math. LOL. Another one I wish I had kept.
