This was one Terrific display and quite an opportunity to look at all 50 years of Corvettes and view the changes in model years. This was the first time I've ever seen all 50 model years of Corvettes. Special Thanks to Ralph Adams one of our local members who spearheaded this idea and display. Ralph contacted and arranged to have Corvettes from all 50 model years on display for four days as part of the 50th Celebration during the Louisiana Chapter of NCRS 5th Annual show this weekend.

The display was set up a road through time going through the French Quarters of New Orleans. It started with the 1953 and the model years alternated across the isle as you walked the street to the 2003 model year. It ended with five of the Official Pace Car Editions of Corvettes. Quite a display. In addition to the NCRS Show and display, we had a Top 100 open show on Saturday along with an auction and lots of Vendors. I wish my pictures were better. (but, I tried to out smart my camera and loss ...).

Very nice, Laddie! The motorsports company I used to work for built and manages a Corvette Heritage Roadshow tractor/trailer for GM. Here is a link to find out info on it. It also has a show schedule for 2003 and it looks like the rig will be at the Sebring race in FL in March! It is a very large display with display walls covering the heritage of the Corvette over the years! There is also a virtual tour on this website to view what the display includes.

Laddie - thanks for sharing the pics. If DC had continued producing the Prowler for 50 years, I wonder what the other body styles would look like?
