Default Calendar Worthy

Me and my 69' were chosen for a calendar. It was a small local charity car show last fall. Got 2nd place. 1st went to another 69' convertible though.
Just thought I'd share. Anyone else have there car featured? Would like to see them.:thumbs.

Nice ride, and congratulations!!!

I haven't had the 'Vette in any calendars or anything yet, but my Pro-Street '71 Monte was in a few calendars, as well as Hot Rod magazine (in the Reader's Rides section), and it was in Club International (a men's **** magazine). LOL...
No women we involved in that photo-shoot though , out of respect for my Fiancée!

My '70 hasn't been in a calendar, although I have been approached by the publisher of Classic American Beauties calendar about a future photo shoot. They were the ones that put my '34 Ford Coupe in their 2014 calendar. The photo shoot was a lot of fun!

Back in 2008 Our Snap-On dealer asked me to apply for a calendar spot. This was the picture. Didn't get a spot but we tried.

Last year I did my own calendar with Vista Print with photos of my Corvettes. It turned out really cool. Vista Print has excellent quality. All I had to do was upload the photos on their website, put in any special dates I wanted on the calendar, and it was done. Optima Batteries pulled a photo I posted off this forum and used it in an online article.
