What does it mean to be part of the Corvette community?
Car clubs are communities of automotive enthusiasts who share a common interest in automobiles in general or in a specific type, such as the classic sports car, the Corvette. Some car clubs are broken down by an appreciation for a particular model year group such as the C3 Corvette. The third generation Corvette, known as the Shark model, ran from 1968 to 1982.
A Place to Meet: Meeting new friends and revisiting old ones
The C3 Vette Registry meets every year at Corvettes at Carlisle, a great place to meet other enthusiasts and form friendships. Members come from across the world to share and discuss their favorite cars. We’re looking at the C3 Vette Registry today on our blog.
