 This annual summer event is the largest
gathering of Corvettes. I've been fortunate to attend every one. A ZR-1
door prize. |
|||
 The weather was the coolest I can recall
in decades. The theme for this years "Chip's Choice" display
was the joy of bonding between a parent and child in this hobby. |
|||
 The 56-57 models are my personal favorite
of all the various 53-62 models. Those small graceful bumpers and lack
of excessive heavy chrome adornment make me moist. |
|||
 This 1957 model in Inca Silver with a
Shoreline Beige interior has a quiet elegance. Too many choices, and I
have too little money. |
|||
 This 1960 model was unusual because it
was the rarely seen metallic paint called Cascade Green. It is Greener
than the 56-57 variety which has a Bluish tint in comparison. |
|||
 This Harvest
Gold 1955 is more fun than your usual father and son restoration fame off
effort. I would prefer driving this old girl rather than standing around
while folk judge your effort at a static display event |
|||
 Note the 4 safety lock pins on the hood
and the typical fit at the rearward edge. Are the washer squirters in the
cowl vent? |
|||
 The plexi windscreen has unique attachment
brackets typical of race cars. I recall those teardrop mirrors from MG
Mitten print ads. |
|||
 Note the roll bar and cage inside the
empty doors. Modern gauges have been added for vintage racing. What is
that long rectangular display above the dash? |
|||
 Note the slight flair added to the wheel
lip for the Hoosier mag wheel combination. Also the early style prototype
N14 side exhaust dump in front of the rear wheels. |
|||
 You had to arrive early at Corvettes
at Carlisle to see this lightweight prototype from the Corvette Skunk Works.
Rumored to be a C7, it has a very favorable horsepower to weight ratio.
I cannot wait till the 2006 event. |
