In my humble opinion, the '62 was the last Vette with any soul. It has morphed from the Stingray (a feeble re-attempt at soul) into today's Batmobile-wanna-be monster, with more aero edges than an F1 racer. And thank you for your service...
In 1966 when I graduated from high school, my parents signed for me to buy a 61 Corvette. Talk about instant popularity, that was a fun summer and one that I'll never forget. I saw one for sale in a local classic car dealership the other day and it sold fast for $90.000.
Thank you for your service. To the country and your community 😊
I'm 74 and similar background. Marines 66 and 67. I've had 4 C3's and C5's. I will keep driving them until I can no longer get in and out. I think that may be the only reason I stay in shape...
I do stretches everyday specifically just so I can get in and out of my C6 :) Thx for watching!
Thank you for your service my uncle is a vietnam vet too and a retired police officer from aurora p.d .
I am with you. There’s nothing like driving an old Corvette. I had a 1960 back in high school in the early 70’s. It was fun to drive especially when other Corvette guys would wave. I sure miss my 1960 @!wish I had her back.
I had a 61 Corvette the summer I graduated from high school in 1966. I'll never forget that summer of fun!
Absolutely classier than a C8. It looks American and yes, it looks Corvette, not Ferrari or Lambo. Love the dashboard and instrumentation. This continued into the C2 years but after that it started warping out into something else. The black and red works very well. Mine was white and black and it was not nearly so nice looking. The only problem with black is how it shows dust, but if you don't mind caring for it, you have a superior looking paint job.
Worse thing is the C8 Corvette doesn't really look like a Ferrari or a Lambo. It's a very strange mid-engine car, with some exotic angles and some minivan lines as well. Hahahaha... I think of Corvettes as front-engine, RWD cars!
That’s a great story!👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Great golden years.
Was a honor to hear your story Sir.
