Vettes at the Village - World Golf Hall Of Fame - St. Augustine FL - PIC HEAVY
Went to the Corvette show this weekend at the World Golf Hall Of Fame between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Went to see as many different C7's as I could but ended up loving all the variety of Vettes that were present. Please forgive my lack of knowledge of a lot of the terminology and specific years on some models.
I'm somewhat of a camera nut but have been real lazy as of late and haven't been shooting much at all, so this gave me a good excuse to pull out my photo equipment and make an effort to hone the skills.
There are about 92 images total, so it'll take me a little while to post them all.
There was a photographer from the St. Augustine Record local paper in attendance. We chatted about cameras for a second and he wanted to get a picture of me taking pictures.
Here I am in their album.

A couple favorites:
1970 Stingray - Don't know the color name but it was kind of a slate gray.
C6 Grand Sport - Really liking the wide bodies of this model. The flared fenders look awesome and some of the colors are great.
Carlisle Blue C6 - I've never seen this color before. The owner said there were only like 40-something made. The owner gets lifetime free entry into the annual Carlisle car show.
2014 White - Customized with side skirts and a splitter. Airbrushed engine cover
Also really liked the Night Race Blue and Crystal Red colors. Laguna Blue was another favorite. The Crystal Red car that was at this show was 'overdone' on the add-ons in my opinion. I really prefer the more subtle customizations as seen on the White C7.
I will edit this post as I remember some favorites.
Let's get started with the pictures with a beautiful classic...

Very nice-looking pictures. Thought I saw a new C7 with an improperly placed center cap. Must not be part of the OCD club or should I say CDO club. LOL! Any chance there might be some pictures of the white C7 that was spoke of by the OP?

I really wanted to photoshop those center caps to level. Just haven't done it yet!

Up at show center they had one car representing each of the Generations of Corvettes. With a nice description of what the different specs were for each Gen.
This white one was the C7 rep. (Not the one I spoke of in OP, it's coming up)
Grand Sport!!!
The 1970 (my birth year) Stingray

Beautiful ZR1. Love those wheels!
I think this was my favorite Grand Sport. Love that color.
The Carlisle Blue (spelling?) model
And here's the White C7. Very nice!
