Default Wedding Picture

I don’t get to visit CF as much as I’d like these days but wanted to share this picture of my daughter and new son-in-law leaving the wedding on Saturday. She grew up with this car and they asked if they could use it as their chariot from the church to the reception. Made a special day, full of new memories, even more special!

My 16 year-old daughter has laid claim to the Z


This was in 1996, she was 6 years old - man time flies!

Very nice thanks for sharing.
'82 looks as good as it did in earlier photo.
So who drove it to the reception?
My future son-in-law drives a preius.
I took him out for a ride in my '68 BB.
He said it vibrated allot
Guess it would compared to a battery operated car.
Again thanks for sharing she looks beautiful.
She'll remember that moment forever.
Marshal

Look at the bright side, you lost a daughter and gained room for another Vette.

Awesome pic. I've thought to myself, I'd be proud for my now 13 and 11 year old daughters to take my Corvette for a special occasion, when they get to that age. My Girlfriend drove it for the first time last night. She'd never driven a Vette before, and drives a minivan daily. She didn't stall it once, even commented on how she liked the feel of the clutch.
