Coverage of the 
Corvette Chevy Expo

Vette Vues Magazine
July 2010
Volume 38, Number 12


This is now a Vette Vues Magazine Production!

This year marked the 32nd Annual Corvette Chevy Expo in Houston, Texas. Vette Vues has been a vendor at this event for years. However, this year there was a lot of new and exciting changes. Founders of this event, Don and Dianne Cooper of Cooper Collision, Corpus Christi Texas passed the baton over to Vette Vues Magazine.

The downtown, east Houston, location is easy to get to by the freeways. The shipping docs are actually underneath the freeway, it is that accessible, making it almost painless for those who trailer their show cars, or vendors with their big rigs. This year’s show, held in Hall A, encompassed 130,000 square feet, and it was completely full

One thing this show has always had was a great participation of Chevrolet Clubs and again this year several Texas Clubs showed their support by attending. The clubs included: Corvette Owners Club of Houston, HFD Street Machines, Houston Area Chevy Club, Houston C-3 Club, H-Town Camaro Club, Line Em Up Corvette Club, Los Unidos Corvette Club, National Afro American Corvette Club, National Corvette Restorers Society, North Houston Krewzers, Sam Houston Corvette Club, San Jacinto Corvette Club, Space City Corvettes and Texas Style Performance.

As spectators entered, the first car they saw was the very rare 1955, owned by Brian Webb that was featured in the April issue of Vette Vues Magazine. The next car they saw was a pure stock 2001 C5 owned by Jerametrius Butler. The hall was full; everywhere you looked there were beautiful cars and vendors displays.













One of the feature displays was the NCRS (National Corvette Restorers Society) Chapter Meet. Under the direction of Charlie Cadenhead, the Texas Chapter of NCRS had a beautiful display of Corvettes. The Corvette & Chevy Expo was proud to have the Texas NCRS Chapter display at this year’s event. They had fourteen (14) cars entered, seven (7) cars for Flight Judging and seven (7) cars for Sportsman Display. There were two 1958 Corvettes, Bob Taylor brought a rare Panama Yellow (only 455 of the 9,168 Corvettes made that year) and James Fullerton brought his beautiful Silver Blue 1958 Corvette. Brian Talley brought two Corvettes, both 1960’s one red and one black. There were four of the very popular 1966’s; Rally Red, Laguna Blue, Milano Maroon and a blue custom. Owners Teresa King, Tim Ehlers, Gary Draper and Tom O’Grady displayed these great 66’s. Spectators also got to see two great 1968’s. Charlie Cadenhead, NCRS Chapter President, displayed his gorgeous 1968 painted Corvette Bronze. Kirk Townsend showed his Silverstone Silver ’68. The Texas NCRS display not only had examples of the C1 and C2, they had a 1978 C3 Black/Silver Corvette owned by Phil Pitalo. Melissa Neiman represented the C4’s with her 1995 Dark Purple/White Corvette. Andy Sanchez showed his 2009 C6 Corvette.

Neon, Keen Parts, Jack and Cathy Podell, Vette Brakes, Thompson Astro Tops, Glassworks, West Coast Corvettes, Eddie Wass, Coffman Corvettes, Apsis USA, Canvas Shoppe, Corvette Center, Aixiz Cycles, The Houston Chronicle, Aqua Gardens , Expressions Photography, Valley Vette Shop, Corvettes of Houston, RSR Performance, Richey Collison, Advanced Racing Dynamics and the list just keeps going on and on. Vette Vues would like to especially thank Lone Star Caliper as they were the Show Sponsor.

Six girls competed to be the next winner of the SwimSuit USA model search. Bob Johnston of Auto Etc. Neon did a great job of being the host.
