    Any truth to this?

    Came across this and was curious if anyone knew of this - back in 1989 VH1 gave one lucky winner one of every year Corvette? As of 2010 they are sitting collecting dust.

      Yeah I remember that contest. I think some were sold and most are in a parking garage in NY- unless that was the Peter Max collection?

          Peter Max's 36 Vintage Corvettes: The Full Story - Jalopnik

          In 1989, VH1 gave away 36 vintage Corvettes in a contest. The winner sold those cars to artist Peter Max, who let them rot in a Brooklyn parking garage for twenty years. The cars recently disappeared. This is their story.

                  That is so weird I was just thinking about that the other day. Yes it is true, there was a write up in Vette with the winner.
