Danny, how did the original owner fit in your 1967 coupe? He must be seven feet tall........

Great Car and Story Rob. I hate that we won't get to see it for a while and celebrate with some spirits. Hope you guys are staying safe and healthy.

So, where is last night out next year? We usually discuss next years tour at LNO. Gary and Tom, what is the plan for 2021. I am missing that Indy appointment we had.

I think John has a good route for us in the Texas Road Tour next year to Palm Springs. Wherever LNO is, it will be a "hot" time, if you know what I mean.......

Thank you, Scott.
I'd say my navigator contributed much more than I to the Canadian Group experience for 2019.
I won't speculate about Palm Springs yet.

Nice restoration on the race car! Those flairs are right up there with a couple cars I drug home.

Re: 2020 Virtual Nationals -PICs

In the 70's the midyear racing fender flares were pretty radical. I spent many summer days at Road America watching cars like that run.

Re: 2020 Virtual Nationals -PICs

I love your hardtop KEITH. And to be a rare BLACK car. ALL THE CARS are just great.

PALM SPRINGS will be fun. I lived there in 2000-2002. Beautiful town with lots of 50's-60's history and restorations of old homes. GREAT Restaurants . If you like adventure rent a condo with friends. The hotel is the old RIVERA , but restored to todays standards. Locals play hard at night, and swim early in the outdoor pools.

My 96 POLO GREEN Convertible will enjoy PALM SPRINGS.00g0g_aTfqRDLVxjP_1200x900.jpg

Re: 2020 Virtual Nationals -PICs

The NCRS 2020 National Meet was going to be the perfect venue to bring back and show these two Corvettes, and re-unite them with their long time owners who are dedicated NCRS members & Corvette enthusiasts. They deserve all the credit for these fine examples of the "Last Convertible", and the "Rebirth of the Convertible". Dolores (Dee) and Don Griffin campaigned these two Corvettes along with their 1974 and 1993 through the NCRS Judging process to achieve the highest awards. My dream after purchasing these 2 Corvettes from them, was to re-unite Dee and Don with their many still active NCRS friends in French Lick. Dee and Don were registered for the convention, and arrangements were made to have these two Corvettes there along with two other Corvettes for judging.

So. let's hope we can do it in 2023!

Eric,
Not to mention me reuniting you with your old '82.
Missed opportunities all around from this year.
2023 sure seems a long time out there yet.
