Here are some Corvettes from the Triple Diamond Display and Corvette Legends Invitational.

I didn't get an owners name on this Roman Red and Snowcrest White 59 fuelie.



J. Genovese's Ermine White 62 fuelie with the RPO 276 wide wheels. I'm not sure if this was also a Heavy Duty brake car or not.

Thanks, it's my pleasure! I'm glad you guys are enjoying them. This is taking me longer than anticipated so I'll post the rest this afternoon. By the way, what is the Midnite Special Chevelle. It quite possibly was there. I'll post the rest of my Chevelle pictures next.

You're welcome Verne! Thanks for putting together the 409 display. The 409 cars are some of my favorite's. When I was a kid back in the early 80's there used to be a 62 Impala SS 409/409 that would show up at our local track on occasion. It was Tuxedo Black with a red interior and was an unrestored car that had been raced in the 60's. It ran mid 12's and was owned by R. Kopanski. I always enjoyed watching that car run and have liked 409 cars ever since then.

I'm very familiar with that car. I saw it in '83. Remember the dual spotlights???

You refering to the 62 409 originally owned by a guy named Bob Zezula? Sure sounds like it by the description.
