C1 Corvette Replacement Tops (1953-1962)

Craig Vejar’s 2004 Corvette C5 has lived its entire life in Southern California, accumulating 75,000 miles while remaining remarkably well-preserved. His story highlights the reliability, timeless design, and everyday drivability that define the C5 generation.

The National Corvette Museum has opened a new exhibit called “Driven to Preserve,” giving visitors a rare behind-the-scenes look at how Corvette history is protected. From rare cars to archival artifacts, the exhibit highlights the work required to preserve America’s Sports Car for future generations.

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.
