Thank you Jake!! I must say that your family has set the bar in the stratosphere of family car stores!!

Here's a few more, including Paul and Yvonne, also the interior and chassis judging teams at work. Did I mention that the operations judging scored 100%?

When this car was new it was the "Grocery Getter", they were just cars...
A week before the wedding (February) Yvonne slid off a snow covered road into the ditch. A neighbor came by and found a crying Yvonne, sure that Paul would not marry her after wrecking his Corvette.
Well..it was a soft landing into a snow bank, no harm done, and a happy ending!

By coincidence, of the four '65's presented for judging, all were 300 HP. The was a '65 Fuelie coupe maroon/white interior Duntov Award winner displayed also. Seventy Corvettes in attendance, a great turn out for sure! Long distance award was from Massachusetts.
