Sunday was a good day! Break-Away Days incorporates a car show into a weekend celebration in Denver Iowa (population less than 2,000) where the Corvette, and coincidently my own, owned since '67, Chevelle were sold new. Brian and I were there at 7:00 am to get prime spots at the entrance to the food court and beer stand.
Cousin Paul was not made aware of this until his wife Yvonne brought him to be reunited. You can see Brian listening to some great memories shared by Paul. A reporter from the local paper came for an interview to be published soon.
Stories were told of trips to Southern CA, Texas, Oregon, Washington DC, and a nervous night in NYC with the Vette parked in an open hotel lot in Manhattan.
Also told again how Paul had intended to order it with Fuel Injection, but the dealer balked, saying he wouldn't be able to work on it.
We are planning on an appearance at the NCRS Regional in Cedar Rapids IA in May '24. - Bill W
