It was September of 1964 in Baton Rouge Louisiana. I had come up from New Orleans with a church group to play in a basketball tournament. We stopped for lunch at a White Castle when this bright red ‘63 split window driven by the prettiest blond haired beauty I had ever seen pulled up.
I’ve lusted after them ever since (the car too!) ;’)
In 1960 I was 11 years old when Dad went shopping for a new car to replace our 1953 Ford V-8. At the Chevrolet dealer there was a Nomad station wagon & a Corvette. I sat in that ‘Vette like it was an F-100 Super Sabre. Just the instrument panel made it something magical.
Dad bought a Kingswood station wagon with air conditioning, automatic transmission, & tailgate with electric rear window. All that stuff was solid comfort then.
Anyway, hope this ‘Vette collection is preserved for posterity.
