Default Pic thread, your corvettes first day home / oldest pic of your vette you have

The deleverythread got me thinking, it would be cool to see everyones first day with their car/ or the closest you can come to it. I bet there are a lot of big smiles!

First day with the c6- Picked up at the corvette museum


A few years later..First day with the 64...

Bought her the day before fathers day in June of 2009. Provette67 delivered her I believe on July 2, 2009. A day my daughter and I will always cherish.

I wish I had taken some pics of mine when the guy showed up with it on a trailer. I was kinda busy keeping the circling buzzards off of the carcass.

Sometime around 1971, about a year after I got her.



Well over 200000 miles later.

'06, Seeing my '62 for the first time as it arrived from Vancouver, looked fine at first glance.




07, Seeing my '07 for the first time at the Chev dealer in Kansas after just getting off the plane.



10, Seeing my 2010 for the first time at the dealer in Buffalo after just having flown in.




Hmm, reoccurring theme here?
