Default Back to the Bricks; Flint MI

Went to their big show today. Probably 300 to 500 Corvettes. The Corvette parking area was about 1/3 mile long and several streets wide. The whole show was about a mile long with side streets stuffed. I took a few pictures but forgot to take pictures of my own car (entered my 1960 fuelie in judging). Never saw so many 'Vettes in one place. My knees were shot from walking. Was disappointed there were only a handful of C1s in somewhat original condition.

What a great show! I totally love that kind of thing. I never seem to be in the right place at the right time to take part. Looks like great fun!

Am I the only one who dreads rolling into a car show filled with a bunch of new or newer cars? I can see them every day in my commute, I just don't get it.

Who dreads rolling into a Car Show? There is not a Corvette built that I will not look at and learn from... I have owned all but 3 of the Corvette C models. (C4, C7 & C8).

OP, thanks for Posting............
