I was there last year. Couldn't go this year because my club put on a Corvette show as a fund raiser for the National Mill Dog Rescue. We had 5 C1s, 7 C2s, 7 C3s, and 4 C4's. All the rest were 5, 6, & 7s. Seeing less and less of the older Corvettes. Here's some photos.

While I'd love to own a later model, I don't quite get the attraction from a "show" perspective of anything newer than the early 90's or even older.
This really struck me, after seeing the one photo from the Colorado show at the Chevy dealer lot (post #3, 5th photo above), where it looks like nothing more than what that dealer has on the lot for current sale! I would have driven right past that lot without even thinking they were having a car show!
That's mainly due - I'm sure - to my untrained eye on what all these owners added to their cars to "trick them out". I know you can up-fit with a jillion high-end / high-cost accessories for drivability and aesthetics.
But I never quite understood the desire to put those on display.
But then again, I'm coming from a different perspective, of restoring an older vehicle to its original(-ish) glory!
I'm sure I'll hear from a lot of late model owners, sharing their pride in ownership. And I don't mean any offense whatsoever. They're all beautiful driving machines, with very impressive technology and designs.
But I don't see a lot of "sweat equity" put into the cars along that C6/C7 row - just plain "equity".
