Default Vintage Corvette Pics...

Does anyone have any vintage vette pics? Say 70's through to the 50's? Drag races, road races or maybe even an old picture of your dad or grandfather with their vette from years ago. I just thought it would be cool to see some old vette pics from years gone by.......now remember old pics, NOT just pics of old vettes! I'll start with one I found off the net....
OK, let see um!




1969 Meadowdale SCCA National Race

Not sure if this is what you are looking for. Just put the year in the box and it will give you one picture of the car.

Just a hunch, but, I am guessing you will get better results in the C1, C2, and C3 sections...

I have some of me with my '66 taken in '66. I don't need to go to my dad's or grandad's pictures to hit the years you are talking about. If go to the NCM you will see a photo of me and our '66 BB car.

Here's a few, from back in the early 70's. I'm the owner driver, not my grandfather.

Well you asked for maybe even a dad or grandad's Vette. How about a few pictures of mine. the first is my '66 big block 427/425 Silver Pearl roadster next to a friends '64 small block taken in 1969. the second one is my '77 and this dates back to around 1982.
I am a dad and a grandad, so I guess they count.
