Your "time lapse" photos were neat! Love the huge grin, and he sure hasn't changed all that much! That would sure be a neat car to take to college. Talk about a chick magnet! LOL!

Love the kiddie car seat and what appears to be some sort of folding stroller in the C3! Damn, they surely grow up fast! A handsome lad -- he won't even need the allure of a Corvette to attract the co-eds!

Yep ! We had just gotten back from a car show. The stroller was in the back, the passenger side footwell was for toy storage. The C3 was a 427/400 4 spd. with air conditioning and we had a lot of fun in it when he was little. He rode in his first autocross in that car seat (just an easy slow lap).

Hope you all are having a nice weekend, I'm heading out to blow some dust off the Vette ... temporary cure for this empty nest syndrome.

Thanks again to all for the compliments !

Great story Blaise. Time flies and we're left with some great memories. I remember a couple of Corvette shows during the 80's with my daughter in my '74 C3 and the stroller in the back. People would comment on how great it was to keep on showing the car with her along. Then I had 2 sons, so we attended shows with the family car with the strollers in the trunk. One time I took just the older of my 2 sons to a Corvette show in Paramus NJ at Malcolm Konner Chevy back in '95 and we met Zora Arkus Duntov and Dave McLellan. My '74 took first in my class which was probably street driven modified and Zora handed me and my son the trophy. My son was only 5 year old then.
That is a great avatar!
