~Today is SuperBowl Sunday...no matter who you root for today it will be like Football replay Nirvana until game time. Some of the old games are worth watching again and some...not so much. I'm asked all the time which was my favorite Corvette? The correct answer should be the one you own currently but in many cases the answers will vary all over the map. From my perspective all Corvette deliveries are fun but watching people take delivery of their very first Corvette is worth the price of admission. Dream car day is what I call it when folks are taking delivery of their first Corvette. Lifetime of dreams coming together in one moment.
On a sad not we lost a good friend to all this past Tuesday...Sid Harchelroad of Imperial, Nebraska. I knew Sid well for 16 years and from day one we hit it off as if we grew up next to each other.


Sid and I last year at Spring Mountain. Sid wanted to join my class of 20 customers and just enjoy a good time. We certainly did that!

~Spotlight on one delivery this week. Lots of pictures so that you can see the difference of what Sebring Orange Tintcoat looks like vs other colors.

~Brian Z. Of Lancaster, PA called me 8 weeks ago to factory order a new Sebring Orange 2018 Grand Sport Convt. Brian and his Father took the 114 mile ride down Saturday and traded in his 2011 Inferno Orange Grand Sport. Brian’s new 2018 Corvette will join his 1979 Corvette that he has in the garage. Equipment list includes 2LT Pkg, CF badge Pkg, Black Wheels, Auto trans, CF painted mirrors and much more. Now all he needs is top down driving weather. Brian is one of the nicest guys around and I suspect his Father had a big influence on him in many ways. Glad I got to meet them both!



Father and son.

Thanks Mike for another great week of photos and stories.

Congrats. to all the new owners, Corvettes and other models too.

Sorry to hear about Sid, and condolences to his family and friends.

Since the blue C3 picture has been mentioned above.............. I also think this shot of the C3 Collector Edition is a very nice shot of that particular model...............

May Sid rest in peace in Heaven! May his family be comforted by loving memories and the faith he is with our Lord.

Love all the pics Mike, especially the slant nose Vette with the trunk, and the Vette stretch limo!

Have a great Super Bowl Sunday!

Mike, Please accept my condolences on the loss of your friend.

It looked like a great week of car sales.

There are too many great pictures to choose from. The Tommy Ivo pic was cool. I will go with this one as my favorite this week.

Thanks as usual for the "super" Sunday pics-

Best photo is either the black 1963 shown from the rear - or the hood shot of the green C3 with the 427 emblem clearly visible.

The tackiest one is clearly that abomination that looks like the love child of a Corvette & a Cadillac limousine.

As for the Sebring Orange? Not really sure how if it clicks with my taste, but maybe it will grow on me once I see it in person. I was not a fan of Black Rose when I first saw it in photos, but it really looks a lot better when you see it on a real car parked next to you. I guess the Orange will be the same way.

There was a beautiful dark orange C3 at our Corvette roundup last summer. With a black interior, it was absolutely stunning.
