Customer Spotlights
Walton “Wally” Mahlum’s 1969 Corvette Stingray has been in his family for nearly 56 years. Purchased new in 1970, this classic C3 has served as a daily driver, raced in competition events, carried daughters to prom, and still wins car show awards today.
Jim and Cindy Priebe were childhood sweethearts who married in 1982 with only one asset to their name — a 1964 C2 Corvette coupe. Though life forced them to sell it, their Corvette journey never truly ended. From a ’69 and an ’82 to a C5 Limited Edition and a Racing Yellow C7, their love story and Corvette loyalty have gone hand in hand for decades.
Ron Townsend’s 1975 Corvette Stingray is everything the C3 generation represents: timeless style, true driver connection, and classic Corvette pride. With all numbers matching, a 4-speed manual, and only 36,000 original miles, this Stingray is a rare survivor in today’s collector world. Recently displayed at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, Ron’s Corvette has earned its place in the spotlight. From local car shows to community conversations, this Stingray continues to keep Corvette heritage alive.
Bruno A. Bril’s 1982 Corvette C3 Targa is more than just a classic car — it’s one of only two of its kind in the Netherlands. As the final year of the C3 generation, the 1982 model introduced fuel injection and carried the legendary “shark” styling for the last time. For Bruno and his family, it’s a dream realized and a Corvette that will remain part of their lives for years to come.
This week’s Fan Friday features Ken Boggess and his pair of blue Corvettes — a 1977 and a 2022 — showcasing nearly five decades of Corvette ownership.
