Well at least you have pictures of what your dad had. All I get are stories of what he had.

I rode in the 69, and drove the 78 (a lot)

did you know that a corvette convertible can "seat" a family of four? (without the soft top anyway)
same for the 78....grew up in the "back" of that car.......sigh.....

Those were the days, seat belts were not a big issue as a kid, even if the cars had them. I remember running around in the back seat as a kid and even laying back, in the back of the station wagon.

Kool old pics, keep the memories.

Cool old pictures. That '62 and '64 are probably "all original" today.


Odd how no one has mentioned the '64 has no fuellie emblem on the fender.

Old pictures like this are nice to see because they are what happened, not what someone remembers happened.

Do you have any of the VINs? It would be a cool thing to track one of them down if they're still around.
