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
The clean lines and distinctive design of the 1963- 67 Corvette Sting Ray will never become unfashionable or out of style. . .
Design elegance.

It seems to me that truly elegant designs like this are a fluke because they are inevitably replaced by worse and worse designs until they stumble across another elegant design.
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:

When I got my film scans back from the lab, when I saw this one I was stoked how good it came out. I wasn't sure when I took this. But the color was popping. I really liked the abstract look of this photograph.
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.
1959 Chevrolet GMC Corvette 5.7 litre, OSU 156, on display at the docks during Gloucester Goes Retro on 23 August 2025. The Corvette is a line of American two-door, two-seater sports cars manufactured and marketed by General Motors under the Chevrolet marque since 1953.
Gloucester Docks form the most inland port in the country. Elizabeth I granted Gloucester the status of customs port in 1580. The first customs house was at the Old Quay which stretches north from the lock at the North Quay. The house still stands and still wears the royal coat of arms.

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.
