New Addition

In 1978 we purchased a bright yellow 1972
Corvette. It was a long time dream of mine to have one and Grace and I used it a lot and enjoyed long drives during the "car season". So, life went on and we sold it a few years later. This is the car in our driveway when we lived in Milford.

Turn the clock ahead 30 years and with an urge to start some sort of a new car project, I come across a bright yellow1976 Corvette. What made this car special, other than the color and the same body style as our first one, is that the person selling this car was the original owner and had saved every invoice and paperwork tied to the car. Some would call this a "survivor" - not perfect, nor a multi-thousand dollar restoration - but a very well maintained, original car.

After many hours driving to and from West Palm Florida, we struck and deal and brought the
car home this afternoon. Very exciting....
