Rhonda Noah’s 2024 Corvette Stingray 3LT “24Angel” is a rolling tribute to her sister, brother, and cousin — all born on the 24th of their birth months. With its Arctic White finish, carbon-fiber accents, and personal meaning, this C8 Stingray represents both cutting-edge performance and a legacy of love. For Rhonda, it’s more than a Corvette — it’s a promise fulfilled.

Bruno A. Bril’s 1982 Corvette C3 Targa is more than just a classic car — it’s one of only two of its kind in the Netherlands. As the final year of the C3 generation, the 1982 model introduced fuel injection and carried the legendary “shark” styling for the last time. For Bruno and his family, it’s a dream realized and a Corvette that will remain part of their lives for years to come.
