It’s what’s under the hood that sets the Corvette apart from many other cars. Car show enthusiasts get a close-up look at a line of Corvettes, known as America’s Sports Car. More than 1.7 million ‘Vettes have been sold since 1953.
Bob Meyer of the Old Dominion Corvette Club has a new 2021 Corvette, with the first generation of rear-mid engines in the car’s 68-year history.
What’s a Corvette show without a few classics? This 1956 convertible is owned by Vernon Vane. The first ‘Vette rolled off the assembly line in 1953. That year, 300 Corvettes were sold.
Car people have been fascinated by the Corvette since the 1950s, and that is what brings the public out to shows.
With its doors open, Curtis Tyler of Living the Dream Corvette Club shows off his 2006 model.
There is no doubt that Corvette owners take great pride in showing off their engines, including this 511-horsepower motor in Jon Borick’s car.
The Corvette logo is an icon in American car production.
