Vettebuyer6369, thanks for the pics, what an incredible, incredible group of L-88s. In all my 40 years of this Corvette stuff, that will certainly be tough to top. Just f'n WOW!!!!! Just f'n AMAZING to witness that!!!. In all honesty, if it was the one thing I was very dissappointed in was that for the 50th Celebration of the '68, there was only 3 '68s in the 50th display outside. Did see like 8 more '68s inside the one building and another 8-10 '68 L-88s so that made up for it!!! Loved Corvette Mike's Silver L-88 conv with hdtp and the other '68 L-88s. I know, I know, shoulda taken my camera, forgot it. Drove 640mi round trip out & back since 4:45AM & just back home a few mins after 12AM. Another amazing thing out of like 22 some '68s, saw like 7 Bronze '68s !!! Several had the Dark Orange interior too !!!
And yes, the amount of bronze ‘68s in the inside display was crazy! I had a real soft spot for the ‘68 as it was my first C3 (we called them “ late models”) back in 1978. Of course, I had an L88 hood! The L88 display was awesome.

Paul, good points! I was shocked on Friday that there was 1 ‘68 outside in the GoldYear all day. Today a second showed, then a third. It was sad. It definitely changed my mind from bringing my ‘69 next year.

Maybe I was a little high on the '68 number, was at least 37 cars?

1968 to
Rather disappointing to see the poor turnout of 1968 Corvettes on hand but thanks to those who shared pictures!
