Thanks Mike. I've always thought the C3 was a brilliant design, and has stood the test of time well. This one is just flat-out, bad-***, awesome.

thanks for another great Sunday post Mike, you outdid yourself here. Nice end of year sales you made and love all the 50's-60's-70's pics(both street & race) as well as the dealership & ad photos too! BTW--that's a very interesting collection/museum display with the '57 Eldo's, is it open for live public viewing? Happy Birthday MIke, thanks again--Randy

I believe that collection is in Iowa. Dennis Albaugh. You can google it.

Our fav this week is the Marina Blue C2 Fastback with the sunset in the background.

Very Furman-esque, as he owns a similar 1967 C2.

This is my favorite from this Sunday's post. When I was in kindergarten, my dad bought an old barn kept 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarittz Convertible for $500, restored it, and later sold it when I was a senior in high school for $15,000. It's the one car he wished he would have never sold. I had a lot of fun with my dad in that awesome car...and now my kids have fun with me in my Corvettes. Great pic that brings back a lot of special memories for sure!

On a bad *** cold day such as this, the Corvette photos can help warm one's heart. Here in the Richmond area, it was -2 degrees this morning! My 2017 Stingray is in the unheated garage - trying to stay warm. LOL!

By next weekend, I think it will be warm enough again to take her out for a spin. This may be Virginia, but it feels a lot like Upstate NY right now. Jeez!


P.S. My favorite pic has to be the 1960 Corvette with the four small children in its trunk.

Mike, I'll vote for the Long Beach Red/Maroon split window. Looks like it was at a car show. Great work.
