My C3 took First Place!
I put my 71 coupe in a local car show last weekend. It was my first Corvette show. I was shocked when the car took first place for the C3 catagory since it is just a daily driver of sorts. I think there were about 10 cars in the C3 catagory and a total of 60 Vettes in the show. The show was the annual Corvettes on the Cumberland, part of the Rivers and Spires Festival in Clarksville, Tennessee. My hat is off to the Corvettes of Clarksville club for putting on a first class show. Just a handful of guys did a tremendous amount of work to make this show successful. I sincerely appreciate their hard work and I am very grateful and honored to have won the award.
Thanks Corvettes of Clarksville!
Rick
