Still Exciting
My new 2009 JSB convertible is going to be built on Wednesday ( Vin 437 ) and i am just as excited now as have been with any of my other Corvette buys. This one will be the 17th i have owned over the last 31 years. I bought my first at age 18, it was 2 years old. I have purchased other new cars or trucks over the years but they all seemed like they were just transportation. But i always have been excited about Corvettes. It started when i was 6 and a neighbor had a 62, i thought it was so cool that his roof could come off ( Removeable hardtop ). Can't wait to get this one.

Congrats on the 09 JSB Vert!WOW.....17 vettes; that's a new vette about every 2 years!
I have a new 08 JSB C6 Coupe and it is only my second vette.
My first car and first vette was a 1966 Nassau Blue C2 purchased in 1977 and sold in 1983.
I drove that C2 my last year of high school and all through college and have some very fond memories of my first Corvette and miss it terribly.
25 years later; I took delivery of my new 08 JSB C6 Coupe and feel 20'something all over again!
My motivation in choosing JSB for my 08 C6 was that it reminded me very much of my old Nassau Blue C2.
In owning 17 prior Corvettes and a huge current color palette to choose from; why did you choose JSB for your new 09 C6?

Great choice. It will be much easier to take care of than your triple black. I also bought my first vette 31 years ago, a 77 coupe. Unlike you my JSB convertible is only my 4th vette. enjoy the ride.
