We returned to the Springfield, Vermont Precision Valley Corvette
Museum for their Fall Corvette Event. About 25 different models participated
and came from all over the New England states and even Canada. |

The following two C3's motored down from Canada.

Matt and his partners in the 1950's Springfield
Royal Diner have it in full operation including a drive thru. That menu
board is above the Corvettes. |

Nice Navy/Navy Split Window. |

Nice 1959 Vette. It was top down weather. |

A nice 1962 Fuelie. The owner told me that he does
not have his F.I. unit installed. |

One change inside the museum was that this loaded
Silver/Silver 1964 air coupe was moved into the lobby area. |

Ben LaBaree attended and was collecting donations
for the American Cancer Society. Don't forget to donate. I had not met him
before. He told me that over 15 years ago we had refinished his 1963 shifter
console. |

My new C6 allowed me to pick up a couple of local
girls. We ate a late lunch in Chester, VT and then took Route 100 up to
Stowe, VT for dinner at the Green Mountain Inn. Taking your house with you

The Allision exhaust brake is very handy going down steep
hills and saves the brakes so they don't overheat. It automatically shifts
the Allision 6 speed into a lower gear. The air suspension on this Freightliner
is very smooth and has a very nice stable ride even on curvy Vermont back
roads. And there is no shortage of torque from the 300 HP Cummings. On the
freeway it's just glides along quiter than my Dodge V8 pickup. It's sooooo
smooth and quiet, I'm really surprised.
If I had my way, we would move up here and just let UPS
do what they already now do. I like the woods.
