Pics at Corvette Classics Museum in Ft Wayne
These are just a few of the many pics I took while waiting for my gears to be put in at DTE. They had many many awesome cars there.
1. A very nice 53
2. A 67 427/435HP- Value 300,000
3. A 71 454/425HP previously owned by Country Singer Alan Jackson
4. A 03 Vert-Was the parade car in the Indy 500 and Pace Car in the 10th running of the Brickyard 400.
If you've ever in Ft Wayne, Ind this place is well worth the stop.

That's a great place. I stumbled upon it by accident while I was up there. It was kinda funny.....when I first went in and looked at the first 3 cars (a '54 and a couple of '55s, I believe) and noticed they had the same owner I commented to the attendant that it sure must be nice to have the bucks to own three cars like that. Then I kept looking and discovered that every car in that place was owned by the same guy. About 50 Vettes in his own museum! Geez! It's definitely worth the visit if you are in Ft. Wayne, IN.

Very nice cars. If I get up that way, I'll have to remember to stop and check out the museum.

I was there when they opened the door and since I had plenty of time to kill I talked vettes to the guy that ran the place. I was the only one there until just a few minutes before I left. He said they try to get all the car's out at least 3 times a year to run them. Like to have that job! He said they were very particular where they drove them at.
