Continuing a tradition
Hello everyone! I am the proud caretaker of my late father's 2000 C5 since his passing in 2005. He previously owned a 1953 C1 - the first Corvette registered in Newport Beach, CA. After that, a 1957 convertible fuelie with a 4-speed. Wouldn't I love to have either one of those cars today!
His automotive tastes moved to England and Japan for several years - sports coupes all - before returning to Bowling Green's Best after he retired.
If my son thinks he's going to inherit this car any time soon, he's in for a long wait.
