Default Charlotte Auto Fair Pics...

We were parked in the winner's circle next to the Capitol City Corvette Club from Columbia, SC. Their cars start to the left with the silver C5s.


Opium's company makes these neat top holders for C4s & C5s. :cool: Here are a couple of pics of one...

There were quite a few Cobras at the show. I don't know very much about them having only seen pics of Batmobile's but my understanding is that most are replicas. These Cobras were built by a place called Super Performance...

Great pix, thanx.

I love shows like Charlotte and Daytona. It's almost weird to be at one of those tracks when the infield is brimming with activity, but the stands are completly empty & silent.

Thanks for the pics Chris!! :cheers: This was a great AutoFair, but definitely too stressful for me!! I took delivery of a beautiful 1996 LT4 Collector Edition, but I lost My 72 LS5 in the transaction. I am really happy with the deal! :thumbs: But it will take a while to get over my C3! :(

Anyway, here are a few pics of the two of them and then a couple of shots as SILVRTOY drove her away :sad:







Gone....but not forgotten!!!

Thanks for the pics. We didn't bring our camera. The show ruled! My feet are still wet though.
