The 1985 NCRS National Convention was held at the Sheraton Tara Hotel in Danvers, MA and was hosted by the Northeast and Delaware Valley Chapters. A participant, Ken Chase who had a red 1960 Corvette at the time recently provided the New England Chapter with the raw footage he took. We are posting part #1 on the New England Chapter YouTube channel, with #2 soon to follow. It is home video, 40 years old, and is raw footage, so isn't up to the standards of today, but we are so grateful that someone had the fortitude to videotape this event. The video starts out as the Corvette Road Tours are arriving at the host hotel. Zora and Elfie Arkus Duntov is there to greet the Road Tourians at the entrance to the hotel. Then the video goes to the L88 Discussion held at the Grand Tara Ballroom. Wayne Walker (from Zip Corvette) discussed his 67 L88 Corvette, the ex Tony DeLorenzo Race Car and his 69 ZL1, Ed Mueller with his 67 L88 Coupe, and another gentleman with his 69 L88. If you know who some of the people are in these videos, please post in the YouTube comments a description of the person, their name, and the video time when they appear. This would help so much in identifiying who was there for others. For example Zora and Elfie Arkus Duntov taking a picture with a young enthusiast in a yellow shirt and cap, 03:59. This was the 10th year of the NCRS, so it was in the early years with judging done outdoors and very simplistic. A great snapshot of the early years of the NCRS.
