I bought this 1957 in 1972.


1991 Steel Blue Metallic coupe I bought in Stockton, where it was advertised as a gray Corvette with 47000 miles, in 2008. I sold it in 2009 when I bought the Z06.



I bought this Electron Blue 2002 Z06 in Sacramento in 2009 with 22000 miles on it. I sold it this month.


This 1992 Black Rose Metallic came from Phoenix in 2011 with 47000 miles on it. I sold it in 2014 after I bought a 1991 turquoise coupe.

I liked it - but it leaked like a sieve. From there moved to a '95 Z28 (better) and then to my '00 pewter FRC (best!).

I don't have pics of my first two... too many years, moves and lost boxes ago... but here are some pics that reflect exactly what my first two looked like:

First one was a 1978 Pace Car:



Then I had a 1977:



And here's a pic of my actual 2002... my current and most favorite of the three:

Nice thread, I enjoy looking back at others cars. Seems like a pattern for those of us that have been blessed to own several Corvettes, we just moving up to the next generation. I stopped at the C5.
