~It's impossible in the Corvette World to miss all the rumors flying around these days because so much is about to happen within the next year and the Media/Internet is a giant Buzz because of it. Zora Duntov himself would say "Rumors sell magazines." But I will admit "where there is smoke there is fire." Clearly the 2019 ZR1 will be getting announced real soon especially with the 2019 Corvette production to start Jan 29th instead of the June 24th time frame like it normally would. That early start date then brings up the question of how long will the 2019's be built and does that make the 2020 the first year of the 8th Generation and is it the Mid Engine?

*Spotlight one Delivery:
~Ronjoy G. Of Livermore, California reached out to me two weeks ago as he heard of me thru the Forums. Ronjoy just moved to the States from Australia and wanted to drive America’s #1 Sports Car! He picked out a Torch Red 2017 Corvette Stingray Cpe with Two Tone Adrenaline Red interior, Red calipers, CF Badge Pkg, Magnetic Select Ride, Auto trans, Performance Exhaust, Black wheels, CF painted spoiler/mirrors and 2LT Pkg. His new Stingray Corvette is all cleaned up and Plycon Trucking picked it up Thursday eve to ship it enclosed trailer and travel 2,798 miles from Criswell in Maryland to Ronjoy’s driveway in Livermore, California. He will soon find out this Stingray is a World Class Sports Car!
Wave to him if you see him on the highways of the West Coast!

Thank you Mike for taking the time to post this thread. I enjoyed the pictures of the men working on the clay models and the skill of turning a mound of clay into Corvette art!

Cngrats to Ron being a new owner! As to the Class section, the first one is great only to look at the second (looks like it rolled unattended). The best are the racing cars with Ko Motion old and new being good to see. Thanks Mike.
Good Morning Mike.Another very nice posting,as usual.Thanks
Favorite Photo...Hmm,Well anything to do with the 3 is good by me.
What a moment that must have been for Ron Fellows to race with the late great .Then to WIN..
Not my favorite picture but does bring back memories when my brother borrowed my '65 C2 Vert and proceeded to roll it over that day. Not a scratch on him and crawled out through the windshield while it was still upside down.
Once repaired I traded it in for a '67 Olds 442. By then I was 24. Nice but not the same thrills.
