Fort Carson Colorado had a 2 day car show as part of their 4th of July celebration. My 1978, snagged 3rd place for Corvettes, and the people's choice trophy. Here are some photos.

Congratulations, RkyMtnC6. Just an update on those silver tops I bought from you, I'm going to have them painted matte black with a matte clear coat to protect them from fading in the Florida sun. They should look good when finished on my Pace Car.
