C1 (1953–1962)

Some Corvettes are built fast—others are built right. This week’s Fan Friday feature introduces Morgan Hanson’s 2004 Corvette Z06 from Dallas, Texas, a Machine Silver C5 that spent four years evolving into a meticulously dialed-in performance build. Starting with the legendary LS6-powered Z06 platform, Morgan focused on thoughtful upgrades that enhance drivability, reliability, and track-ready capability without losing the soul of the car.

Pete’s 2023 Elkhart Lake Blue Corvette Stingray LT1 is a standout example of C8 performance done right. With its bold factory color and black interior, this Stingray highlights the sharp design and balance that define the mid-engine Corvette era. The LT1 trim keeps the focus on driving, proving that simplicity and performance go hand in hand. A modern Corvette that turns heads wherever it’s parked.

Bruce Hall’s Corvette journey began behind the wheel of a borrowed 1971 C3 and continues today with his stunning 2013 Triple Black Grand Sport Convertible. Spanning decades, military service, and multiple generations of Corvettes, Bruce’s story reflects a lifelong passion for performance and open-road freedom. His Grand Sport perfectly captures the balance of aggressive styling and everyday drivability that makes the C6 era so beloved. This is Corvette ownership rooted in experience, appreciation, and legacy.
