Funny thing happened at a Corvette show
Went to a Corvette only car show and 99% of the 200 and more were newer Corvettes . I in my 55 and the guy next to me having a 53 had to inform many of the Corvette people that our cars are Corvettes and what they looked like in the beginning. It was surprising how many people dint know 55 was the first year having a V8.The guy at the left putting his hand inside asked me where are the windows:leaving:

Dan There is a very happy ending; our local AACA welcomes everyone with a car over 25 years old and golly-gee they like to talk about cars. :cheers: |

I have to agree, most of the corvette shows around here are the same. Mostly newer vettes and the owners do not really have much interest in the older ones. Maybe it is just a silent envy, or should be, nothing like the older vettes, for class and style.

The Corvette shows I attend are mostly C5 & C6's. When somebody like me shows up with my '62 I get the strangest looks. :eek:
I like the "Corvette Wannabe" with the T-shirt asking, "Where's the windows".....Just because you have the $$ doesn't make you a Covette enthusiast :ack:....IMO......Nice '55 by the way! :thumbs: |

It was ,they also wonted to know how the radio works without a antenna ,why I took the door handles off, added screens over the headlights ,cover over the license plate and mostly why I added Finns to the rear fenders, I get a lot of questions about the Finns .:banghead:
You go to a show and have a one-of-a-kind car with even rarer options (bubbletop, etc.) and you have to know beforehand it'll screw with folks' heads !! |
really want to pi$$ them off? ... wear a tee shirt that says "Real Corvettes have bumpers" ... :D

I recently quit our local Corvette Club (Rochester Corvette Club) because at every function the would field 60 plus C2s, 30 C1s and my 64. I found them to be completly uninterested in anything more that a year or two out of the showroom. We used to laugh at the PT Cruiser people who drove right from the dealer to the show but lately Corvette guys in Rochester are much worse.

Either of those shirts would be desirable. Seriously, does anyone make (carry) those? I definitely would like to have one or both of them.
