Corvette Classics: 1953-1982

I couldn't resist a little sliding for this red Corvette Stingray that I found parked on the seafront in Portland, Victoria. It was a plain flat red, but a little sliding goodness brought out the true colours!
Happy Slider Sunday

Finally an event I could go to and take photos at. There was a car show in the parking lot of Gemmens and the old Family Fare store.
I've always dreamed of having a Corvette or a Datsun 280Z. I couldn't pass up the opportunity with some cloud reflections.
The clean lines and distinctive design of the 1963- 67 Corvette Sting Ray will never become unfashionable or out of style. . .
So yesterday I had to take my car to the local General Motors dealership at Castle Hill (Victoria Road) for its 40,000km service, and whilst waiting I wandered into the adjoining GMSV (General Motors Special Vehicles) dealership - and look what I discovered.
It's a silver-grey 3LT GMSV Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. It is, surprisingly, a normally aspirated motor (no turbo) and yet gets to 100km per hour in 2.9 seconds. It has an amazing power-to-weight ratio.
Yet, in saying all that, I think any Tesla electric vehicle will beat it down the street. Hence, I note, the first electric Stingray arrives in 2025.
Here it is. It is called the 'E-ray'. Due soon:

Here's Prince, of-course, with Little Red Corvette:

This, too, is from the Goodguys Car Show of 2016, located at the Fairgrounds, Puyallup, Washington. I particularly like hot rods, but if I were to pick a favorite Corvette style, this one would rank right up there! I don't know the particulars (I should ask my husband! ha!), but if you are a car enthusiast, please feel free to leave it in the comments.
My husband just loves cars, and Corvettes in particular, so we enjoy going to car shows whenever we get the chance...and take lots n' lots of pictures! ha! I tell him he ought to be a photographer for a car magazine, but he hasn't done it yet! ha!
Hope you all enjoy!

Happy Bench Monday ... and Happy Mobile Bench Monday ... lots of them.
Really wish the light poles were not sticking out of the frame (considering cloning them out). Do like the expressions and interaction going on between the driver and the bystander.
A fun Corvette Parade down the Ocean City, Boardwalk.
Vertical comp below is cleaner than this closer photo taken a few seconds later in landscape.
Overall composition showing the Corvette parade there in Ocean City, Maryland. Liked this view with the sunlight sneaking into the scene and on the cars, and overall how the people are all interacting in the scene as well.

It's not easy to think of a car more iconic than the Corvette. The old ones were so stunning in their beautiful lines, and a visceral driving experience. I'm sad I never got to print this in a darkroom.
