Default Corvette Calendars - not feeling the love

It's that time of year again when the C5 gets snubbed by all the Corvette calendar makers. Even the C4 gets more pinup time.

This year I'm going to buy a 'Hello Kitty' calendar on sale and glue a picture of a C5 over it and use the months.

I'd boycott the calendar industry entirely but I need my fix of Corvette-a-day fun facts and photos at breakfast.

Filed directly into the shredder.

It doesn't bother me much; a Corvette is a Corvette. There's literally 7 generations of it to have to select for 12 months of print, and a generation-specific item would be a niche' sell. This whole "it's got to be a particular generation" thing is kind of silly.

I bought a pretty nice poster at B&N for 2018. It's nice because 1) it's a large oversized poster, 2) it came with a free print of a nice red C2 right off the bat, 3) all the prints for each month are clear and glossy enough that when I'm done with the calendar it's going to get hacked up into 12 posters. Even with it being a "current" calendar it was less than $20 which when I'm done with it I get 13 posters for roughly under $2 each.



Has a couple of C5s in it.

Sometimes it’s a crap shoot as to whether all generations are featured in a calendar. But with 12 months and only seven generations, you’d figure they could include at least one of each generation.
