Default All Corvette show

For those of you that live in or anywhere near SoCal there is an all Corvette show this Sunday the 15th at Seaport Village San Diego called "Plastic Fantastic. Last year they had over 300 Corvettes (I think) all parked on the grass on the peninsula. If you want to find out more about it go to North County Corvette Club for info and check out the drone video, pretty cool.

How many are going???

I would love to go and see all those Vettes. Seaport Village is like right down the hill from me.

Great location for a car show - I lived in San Diego for about six years. Would love to go to the show, but it's just a bit too far. Hope there is a great turnout and maybe someone will post up pics.

Maybe when I get home late tonight, I can download the photos off my phone and onto my computer. If I can't get them posted tonight, I can post them in the morning.

GSA 'barn find'












This one was my favorite mod c7z
















These are all the pictures I could download for now. I've got a few more, but they're nothing too special, just personal favorites. Over 400 Corvettes showed up that day. Seeing all of them didn't help my Corvette addiction, really wanting to go out and get a c5z now.

The resemblance is remarkable
This one was basically an early 1970's Corvette that someone had done some custom body work on the front. Aggressive looking, but also very weird in my book.

I'm glad you all had a good time. We work very hard to make sure it's a good show. Next year, hot coffee! Lol. One of my faverates was the red ZR1 next to the vendors. I do love the customs though....
