Self-centered, inconsiderate dork at show. I had gotten into position to get a picture of the '63 when this guy walks up and stands in front of me. I wait, he doesn't leave, so I move over. Then he moves over. I move back. He moves back. I say excuse me, he ignores me. I move a long way over, he still moves around to get in the way. Finally I take a shot of him so he can be immortalized on the Internet.
63 Corvette coupe - I came back later. He was still there, but didn't see me, but I didn't like this angle as well as the other one I had originally.

64 Corvette convertible - This guy and his wife were wed in 1964 so they looked for a '64 Corvette. Then he made it the way he wanted it, with a few personalized touches like the '67 hood and the 383 engine. Then there is the custom trailer behind it, so they can travel in the Corvette.

I know how you feel!It's close to impossible to get good shots at the Easter car show.I take a cam corder and try to get as much on a disc as I can by walking the upper and lower before 10 am at that time it's mainly people that have brought a car to the show.
I also noticed that you have pictures of two guys I know,Bob with the white 58 and Doug with the white 57.

66 and 79 Corvettes - The owner of the '66 was a bit protective of his, and wasn't too friendly about sharing information. I asked to measure his luggage area for a project I'm going to post on here and he told me to go find someone else.

66 Corvette coupe with a tripower big block - nice friendly guy. He did measure his cargo area for me. Thanks.
66 Corvette tripower - yeah, I know, but it still looks good. Wouldn't you want one?

68 Corvette big block coupe
68 Corvette convertible - after taking this and walking to the '68 Charger R/T next to it, the wind caught the hood and slammed it shut. Many had push pins in the hood support so they wouldn't slam unexpectedly.
68 Corvette - with the hood down, the picture was better anyway.
