Had to share the cool news!

The NCM featured a story about my son and I this month. Our family is flattered and blown away that they did this! My son thinks its cool that people 'all over the world' can see his Corvette.

I have to give a shout out to Katie at NCM for wanting to put our story up. And while neither my '88 nor my boy's '76 is show quality it is cool that the NCM was willing to show our cars and our story.

Shocked and thrilled,

Lee

Great story, thought your car should have been selected in C3 of the month contest. The NCM knows.

Thanks for offering that up.

I was a bit like 'Yeah, right' when I submitted it but for me it's not just the shiny paint and stuff...it's the story of ownership and my son truly is thrilled with his '76. For me, that is what means the most.

Thanks,

Lee

Lee that is really fantastic! I am so excited for you and your son! IT is fitting for the NCM because that is what this is all about - passing it on from one generation to another. Without families like yours the Vette tradition would die a slow ugly death. People would only drive new cars. And it is much more than the cars. Congratulations and stay with the build!
