Brand New C3s!

I think somebody may have posted this link before but in case you missed it; there is a cool site that posts pictures of muscle cars taken from old high school yearbooks. Annualmobiles

Here's a few pics of corvettes from the site. Nice little time capsule.

Looks like Dennis Schwartz is either 6'8" or sitting on a pile of books! Nice pictures, thanks.

Great link- thanks for posting! Between looking through the blog and sending the link to friends, I just lost about an hour of my life. Well worth it. In just the first 3 pages there are 3 dealerships I know and 1 gas station that's from my current home area.

Definitely a "Blast from the past"......
it helps us appreciate that those cars are in our garages ready to roll or in the process of being rebuilt!

Here's a few more from that site for those who don't have time to look through them all.

This isn't a Vette but its one of my favorites. This is the way muscle cars looked back in the day. Seems like all of them now are done pro touring style or restored with skinny tires and dog dish hub caps.

Aside from the great car pics it's hard not to notice how fat we've become as a society. Normal people, in everyday pictures and they're all shaped like humans...try that today ?

Thanks for checking out my blog. I personally find all these pics by going thru yearbooks. I have more Vette pics coming. And the reason everyone is so skinny is they're kids. All of them still in high school.
