Customer Spotlights
Mel Pempsell walked into Modern Chevrolet, spotted a red C4 in the showroom, checked the odometer — 6,200 original miles from the dealership owner's personal collection — and bought it. The 1989 Bright Red coupe is photographed in front of the last remaining shell-shaped Shell service station in the United States, a 1930 landmark in Winston-Salem, NC, on the National Register of Historic Places. It's one of our favorite photos yet. Click to read the full story.
A cheeseburger run turned into a Corvette purchase when Kevin McBride's wife Diane climbed into a showroom Cyber Gray ZR1 and refused to get out. Their 2010 ZR1 — one of only 289 built in this color that year, with the supercharged LS9 making 638 horsepower — is the result. What a wife, indeed. Click to read the full story.

Roger Wait sold his first Corvette to pay for his wedding in 1978. He sold his second — a C1 he kept for 20 years — in tears. The money from that sale went toward the car he'd always wanted: a 1963 split-window coupe, L76 327, four-speed, one of an estimated 8 to 10 in the entire United Kingdom. Only 10,594 were ever built, in a single model year. Click to read the full story.
Frank Harris bought his first Corvette at 17. He's now 80. That's 14 Corvettes across 66 years — from a 1959 283 with two four-barrels all the way to a 2025 Red Mist Metallic C8 Stingray with Natural interior and a full-length carbon fiber racing stripe. A Corvette lover forever, and the photos prove it. Click to read the full story.
