Hi, my name is Chip Miller (no relation to Carlisle Miller's) how ever my wife is Judie and my grandson is Lance. I bought my corvette in 1981 as a rolling frame and body with a flip front and a few boxes of parts, now jumping in with two feet on resto. I want to build an original looking car, and hope to be driving it in two years. Thi is the third corvette I've owned, and my first time joining a corvette family.

Welcome to the Corvette world...

Lance Miller (Carlisle family)

PS Please don't tell me your grandson's wife's name is 'Michele' - that would be scary... :-)

No my grandson is only 17 and yes that would be scary, back around 1974 I called to enter my 69 conv in the Cavlecade of Corvettes at Bryner Chev in Jenkintown, the guy took all the info about the car(a driver to shown in the back lot somewhere) then he asked form name, I said Chip Miller and he started laughing and wanted to know if this was some kind of joke since I already had a bunch of perfect cars in the show, anyway I went to the show, looked for your Dad[cool guy) and introduced myself,and we laughed. Last friday while having breakfast in Limerick I met Elliot( your father in law ) and his brother Frank(I bought my first car from Frank when I was 15), Elliot said he move back to Collegeville next to the shop where my son works(Chip Miller Jr.). I'm planing trips to Carlisle this year and would be honored to me you and shake your hand for all the great work you guys do.
