After all, there's no such thing as too much Corvette, so let's dive in!
1. Ted & Monica DeLeone - Embracing the Limited Edition
We kick off our Fan Friday with Ted and Monica DeLeone, proud owners of a remarkable 2014 Lime Rock Green Z51 Premier Edition, which happens to be #80 of the exclusive 550 made, as tastefully noted with a beautiful custom license plate frame. Just look at the paint's impeccable shine and mirror! This Corvette gem is a testament to the DeLeone's love for the Corvette name. Their Lime Rock Green Z51 Premier Edition is a sight to behold, and it's an honor to feature such a rare and beautiful machine.
2. James Schwagele - A Heartwarming Tale of Restoration
Our next stop is a heartwarming story from James Schwagele, a dedicated Corvette owner. In March 2021, James faced a touching request from his son – to drive his beloved 1980 C3 Corvette on his wedding day. This iconic car held a special place in his son's heart, making it impossible for James to say no. However, the Corvette had been a part of James's life for 40 years, and it was in dire need of restoration.
Determined to make his son's dream come true, James embarked on a mission to bring the Corvette back to its original factory condition. With sheer dedication and hard work, they managed to complete the restoration just in time for the August 2022 wedding. The look of surprise and joy on his son's face when he received the keys to the rejuvenated Vette is a testament to the bond between a father, his son, and a cherished Corvette.
And here it is, folks - a heartwarming photo of the 1980 Corvette on his son's wedding day.
3. Bill Zura - A Corvette Gathering to Remember
Last but not least, we have Bill Zura, who had a Corvette-themed surprise waiting for him at a friend's house. Imagine heading to a dinner at a friend's place, only to discover that everyone there is a Corvette owner! Bill was in for a delightful evening with fellow Corvette enthusiasts, and there's something truly special about connecting over a shared passion.
There's nothing like good company and great cars, and Bill's unexpected Corvette gathering must have been an unforgettable experience.
