Some fab Corvettes here!

I can't pretend I'm a prolific poster here, but here's a couple of pics of our '78 that we've owned since 1990.


It was "born in the USA", found its way to the Uk in the late 1980s and and then came with us to France in 2004!

It is House of Kolor, but it is the traditional Candy Apple Red, however, it has been done over a gold base instead of the the normal silver base.
