Default Toy Run today

We had a Toy Run to benefit the Shriner's Hospital burn unit. The folks here raised $2300 & many toys were donated by the generous Corvette Community.

many nice C3 Vettes out there.

great pictures, I actually watched our shriner parade today, I didnt take any pictures but the vette group was great! my dad brought and drove his orange 72 coupe and there was a SWEET lookin 66 427 and a 64 and about 15 other vettes

it was a good turn out, they got the mustang group out of the way and done with first and saved the vettes for last! lol

Hi D,
Thanks for the really nice pictures.
The one of the blue 71 and 72 is interesting because you can really decide if you like the look of the luggage rack or not.
Thanks for taking the time to post them.
Regards,
Alan

PS:
Is your car the RED one?

Hi D98,
I should have noticed your avatar. Then I would have known your car. DUH!
I put a luggage rack on my 71 in about 1972. I used it a couple of times, and it stayed on for YEARS. I took it off when I restored the car.
I like it better without the rack, too.
Regards,
Alan
