Captured on August 2, 2003, in Fort Worth, TX @ the 2nd Annual Cowtown Vette Car Show
A Little History It was only appropriate to document the Historical 50th Anniversary of the Corvette with a Photo Series of the five generations that made up these 50 years. Since we owned a Torch Red '93, we set out to find a Red Convertible (torch red or close) to represent each of the five generations for this photo shoot. Our first quest was on our trip to Nashville, TN, & Bowling Green, KY, for the 50th Celebration in June of 2003 - this quest turned up a bust with us unsuccessful in finding a C1 willing to participate. While at the Cowtown Vettes Annual Car Show, it dawned on me that we had representation of all five generations of red convertibles, four of which were CTV members - now it was time for History!!!! Thanks to Don, Fred, Jim & Gail agreeing to do the photo shoot, my quest for a Five Generation Picture was going to be a reality. Within each generation of Vette, several models were produced, which did result in changes for each model year, some more significant than others. Our Five Generation Photo Series does provide a look a the major styling differences of the C1 thru the C5 Corvettes. From what we all know, the C5 generation will end with the 2004 model year Corvette - the C6 will debut in 2005. |
