Default Fourth Times a charm
Ok, this is our first Corvette. Had to PPD three other tries for one over the last 35 years due to some thing or another.

Well,,,a few days ago my Wonderful Wife along with a nice bit of assistance from our very local Chevrolet dealer who dropped one out at supplier pricing made this happen. ALSO: My wife received that supplier info from this very forum. You guys and gals rock..

Have a great weekend all. I need to get detailing.
