Default Florida Keys Car Show

Went to a great Corvette show today down in the Florida Keys. Tons of gorgeous Vettes including some of the nicest C5s I've ever seen. Here are some pics of a few of them.





I'll add some more after I get them up on photobucket. Mike

Not in actual Key West. I thought Holiday Isle Beach Resort is near Islamorada, MM 80-90 or so. About 80 miles from Key West, but still 'Paradise'.

Nice pics btw...thanks to the op

I'm not associated with the shows' sponsors, but below is the flyer regarding this show. There were some clouds, but it was really a nice day. We were in Key West for a few days before coming up to Islamorada, and it was getting windy and cloudy there when we took off.
