HELP! Corvette needs some love!
I'm not sure if you guys are aware of this, but Chevrolet is currently holding a "Best Chevy of All Time" contest on Chevy.com.
The contest started with 16 cars in a NCAA Final Four-type bracket system. There were originally 3 Corvettes listed in the top 16; the 1953 Corvette, the 1963 Split-Window Coupe and the 2009 ZR1.
All 3 Corvettes easily made it out of Round 1, but in Round 2 the 2009 ZR1 was knocked out by the 1957 Bel Air and the 1963 Coupe was eliminated by the 1970 Chevelle SS. The 1953 moved on to the Final 4.
Now, however, the 1953 Corvette is in trouble. With around 3,600 votes cast, the Corvette is loosing 2 to 1 against the 1970 Chevelle.
The Corvette community can't let that happen!
Just for some extra incentive, the 1969 Camaro (which is not up against the 57 Bel Air) has had the MOST votes in each of the first 2 rounds and currently has the most votes in this round. From what I heard, the Camaro community has been working endlessly to push the Camaro into the finals!
Even though the contest is on the Chevy website, you must have a Facebook account to vote. To vote, go to:

I've never know this Corvette community to be outdone by another automotive group, particularly the Corvette's little brother, the Camaro!

Don't have a Facebook account, so no vote from me. Wish they wouldn't link it to something like Facebook. Anyway, hope the Vette makes it a closer contest.

I just voted for the 53 on my fb account. Let's get in there. I have a fb account because I'm retired and it's a fun way to keep up with old friends I don't get to see anymore. AND it's a good way to annoy the ones you didn't get along with but stay out of reach.
