For many yrs I was the General Manager of a small Country Chevrolet dealer called Damascus Chevrolet. It was located 8 miles North of my home in a Horse and Farm town called Damascus, MD. When the new administration came in for 2008 they got rid of many of the small dealers, Damascus Chevy was a 3rd Generation dealer since 1917 with 65 employee's. We even had the very first car they ever delivered on the showroom floor. The founder had the foresight to keep the car when it was traded in Summer of 1923 with only 5,000 miles on it. Anyway, now my commute is 6 miles West to Criswell instead of 8 miles North.

I have a ton of great showroom pics as I started selling Corvettes in 1978!

Love the Soap Box Derby car in the showroom and the blown Olds in the shop!

What cracks me up is all the fender gap on the showroom cars. Just shows you how many of us lowered our cars as one of our first mods. I rarely see a C5 on the street with factory 4 inch gap like that!

Back in 2000 I took my four year old son to the state fair of Texas. Every year they have the new model cars on display. They had a 2000 Torch red Corvette on display and would let the kids sat in the car and take their picture. You then went a website and downloaded the pic. I had that picture as my wallpaper for years. Eleven years later I purchased a 2000 Torch Red Corvette and took a picture of my teenage son in the car. It makes for great conversation.

Yes, we painted the soap box derby car to match our Parts Truck which can be seen in the picture where the new Z06 owner is pulling out of the garage. I have some great pics from the soap box derby, we used our parts truck to bring the derby cars back to the the top of the hill. What a blast that was.That Blown Olds is a 1965 442 cpe which is owned by the Dealer.

The C5 looked great then, and still looks great today. It just has a classic design to it.

Mike, I had the exact twin to the TorchRedC5 in your photo. Even had the BSM's. I did change the wheels to Chrome when this picture was taken. That was a great car. Mine was an 04.
