While in town today...PICS
I drove the vette into our small town this morn and had to stop by the local Chevy dealership and snap a few pics. The guy that owns and runs the dealership is a Corvette guy also.
The Silver Corvette is his car. The Red 79 is for sale at his dealership, and the black 80 is mine.

Yeah the 79 is a nice looking corvette, He knows his corvettes so he wont sell or buy a junk one. I am surprised that he has had the 79 for at least a month, no buyers yet. He also has a Black C-5 on the lot that was his sons. Like I say for being a very small town dealer he knows his stuff!

It looks like a step back in time. I miss the "hometown" Chevy dealer look. The modern "unified" look is more industrial and kind of cold.
Nice to see there are still some local guys left. Thanks for posting.
