No Sunday is complete without reading about new owners and seeing the flashback pics.

Great post as usual Mike. Question: Is the C3 on the trailer in the storage shed the same car as the C3 drag car "General" doing the wheel stand a couple pics lower? The hood scoop with the Stars looks the same on both.

VERY Cool story!!!

Wow, that's a sad end to what appears to have been a pretty strong competitor back in its day. Any idea where it is now or whether it might ever get restored?

Mike the restore comment reminded me of this driveway picture. The Corvette on the left is all original including factory paint. The other Corvette is restored to factory spec of black on red. Both are the 435HP motor cars. Always enjoy your old Corvette pictures!<br/>

When I see the group pictures of the Shriners from Omaha, picking-up their identical new Corvettes from the St, Louis, MO. GM Plant, I perk-up too. There's a couple more black and white photos of the group in another year picking them up as well.

One of the late Garwood Anderson's sons is a member here on CF. I noticed his post many months ago in regards the options/equipment on a C2 group Corvette pick-up Q from another member here. At the time I bought my C3 from their Chevrolet dealership, one of the sons, or both worked in the business with their Dad. They were twins as I recall; ******* and Garwood, were their first names. The Chevrolet dealership is long since closed in Wahoo, NE to my knowledge. My Father bought numerous new Oldsmobiles from Garwood Anderson's GM dealership in the 1950s.
