Fan Friday: From Model Kit to Best in Class | CorvetteStoreOnline.com
This week's Fan Friday Feature steers the spotlight toward Scott Schmelzer, a man whose love for Corvettes literally spans most of the Corvette Generations. Scott's passion for America's Sports Car ignited early, fueled in no small part by a gift from his mom – a Corvette model kit that sparked a lifelong obsession. When Scott finally got his license at 16, he knew exactly what he craved: a Corvette!
Since then, Scott's collection has grown to include eight Corvettes, his latest being a stunning 2024 C8 Hard Top Convertible. The car holds a special place in his heart, and taking delivery in Bowling Green solidified his place in the Corvette family – an "incredible" experience filled with excitement and camaraderie.
While Scott struggles to pick a favorite, this C8 offers a unique charm. From the mind-blowing technology (he's still mastering all the features!) to its "Best in Class" win at the recent Piston Power Show, this Vette is a true champion. Black leather seats with adrenaline red stitching add a touch of personality, perfectly complemented by the red calipers. The LT3 package, high-performance exhaust, GT2 seats, and high wing spoiler complete the picture of a meticulously crafted machine.
Scott's lifelong love affair with Corvettes exemplifies the timeless allure of America's Sports Car. From a childhood dream sparked by a model kit to a trophy-winning C8, his passion continues to burn brightly. This isn't just another set of wheels for Scott's garage; it's the culmination of a lifelong obsession with an icon.
