Hi there,
I'm very familiar with Dubuque as I grew up in Bellevue. I'm currently in a move from Cedar Rapids to Anamosa so I'll be pretty close to you. Best wishes on your C5!

I was born and raised in Burlington Iowa. I now live in Tennessee, but still visit once a year. Iowa is great place ( as long as you don't mind winter) When we were kids Corvettes were our dream cars. I even bought a 'Schwinn Corvette' to deliver the papers. My friends all Had Vettes as soon was we could afford them, My first was a 64 Daytona blue convertible, second was a 65 365 HP coupe. Two friends had '63 vert, then a 67 435 HP white with blue stinger vert. Another buddy had a 62, then a 63, then a 425 HP 66, he now has a 91 ZR1 and I have a 2001 vert and a 2014 night race blue coupe. ( I drive it up there on occasion).

Welcome
