Nice job compiling all those new owner stories and the flashback pics. I enjoy seeing the pics - everything from stock to full blown customs each week. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

THANK YOU Mike for another great week of pictures and great stories!

Congrats. to all of the new owners of some great looking vehicles hitting the American roads.

So many awesome photos, but I chose the one below, as it is in my hometown...………………. Cobo Hall in the background, with Jefferson Ave. and the Lodge Freeway.

Spent the better part of the day there yesterday for the 2019 Detroit Autorama.



Have a safe and fun filled time on your upcoming trip!

Another great Sunday AM thread. Love the pics of the old dealerships and racetracks. Maybe it's me but they sure make it seem like that was a more relaxed time. Anyway, thanks for the thread Mike and have a good trip.

I found a similar road up in Bar Harbor Maine a few years ago, this one brought back some memories:

Another great weekly post. I especially like the story about the 1978 Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car which is still my favorite Corvette special edition and the story (and pic) about your wife coming home in a Vette is priceless.


BTW, does anyone know what this fixture is/does!

The Baldwin Motion style C3 has always been a favorite, especially in Black.

Thanks for another great week Mike. Congratulations to all the new owners.
The photos of your wife as an infant with the C1 were extra special!!!

Pretty cool that Konner was able to have several special Corvettes on display at the dealership!

These two 1957 Corvettes are real air box cars and are owned by my good friend Frank Buck & his son Adam of Gettysburg Pennsylvania. These photos were taken at the hill climb races at the Elegance of Hershey show. Adam finished second in the races last two years. His dad along with good friend Dave Gray race the cars every year at this event.

Another great post Mike. Enjoy your time off.

You know, I have been a Ford truck guy forever. But, since GM stopped putting round wheels in square fenders I could be persuaded to change. That's a good looking Chevy truck.
