I am not sure but I certainly remember that dealership. I went there in the early '70's as some of the NY Mets were there signing autographs. I lived just across the NY border in Montvale, NJ.

So many great pictures Mike, especially the Malcolm Konner shots.
I had to go with this one:

Nice choice for your last picture.

I had forgotten all about that Spring Valley Dealership and my early 70's visit to see some NY Mets until you mentioned it. Thank you.

Mike, amazing how you keep coming up w/ so many new pictures every week. I'm loving Sebring Orange more and more, can't wait to lay eyes on it in person.

Please let me know as soon as you have one of any model in stock. Mine likely won't be the first, and I'll make the short drive to Gaithersburg to see it.

Great post, Mike. The Clemson fans will be lining up to buy the Sebring Orange cars!

Better have good upper body strength to get things in and out of the boot on the ZR1 with the high wing.

Not just them, this Duke grad ordered one. Color preference does sometimes transcend school loyalty. You are also a poster child for this as a UNC grad driving a Duke Blue C7.

Another great addition. Glad to hear 2017s are going fast :-)

BTW, have you received any of the 2018 Corvettes that were fully painted in the new paint shop? Like to get your first hand opinion of the new paint compared to the old paint shop.

I often worry about a buck on the hood, in a different way though!

Yes I am. To be honest I probably wouldn't drive a true Carolina Blue car. A lighter metallic blue maybe. Laguna Blue is an awesome color, I keep reminding myself it's not "Dookie Blue".

Another winner Mike. And the last one was a fitting tribute to David Cassidy.

Yes that is the Konner commemorative edition inside the Museum that the Konner family donated.
