Default Taps in Oregon

Hello,

I am retired and own two corvettes. A 1958 that I drag raced n the 60's and 70's. It sits in my shop and is well cared for. I also recently purchased a 1988 Corvette for a fun car to drive. It is in excellent condition and I intend on a driving vacation across the USA next summer for a couple of months. Hope to do several things including attending some Corvette functions meeting new people in to Corvettes.

Welcome and would love to see a few pictures of the '58. I had a '58 for a little while that was a former drag car. It was a mess.

That is terrific that you have had it all these years. My dad and I hope to meet lots of Corvette owners and fans. We have already on the road!
