Somehow, your camera missed the dirt on mine (maybe it was the guy behind the lense who knows how to handle the camera ) and it makes every Vette look terrific when they are clean.
As usual these shots are very cool!
I probably need to run back through the pics, but did you shoot a ZR1?
Steve
I appreciate the nice comments Steve..... your vette looked great.....especially considering the weather you guys drove through to get to the show...
I would be more than happy to take more shots of it next time we meet......
I didn't get any pics of the ZR1 at Funfest but here's one of my favorites from an earlier show this year...

Does anyone know what color this C3 is????

Hard to tell from a photo. The Vette appears to be a '69. Cortez Silver was the stock '69 silver color.
