29th Corvettes at Carlisle
August 2009 |
Carlisle: currently the largest US Corvette show & swap meets is now
29 years old. I've been to every one and have many fond memories. I still
remember when Chip Miller (RIP) and his partners added this specialized
Corvette only event to their other annual auto events. At that time Bloomington
was the main Corvette event of the calander year. Today Carlisle is the
largest.

- before the crowds |
This meet has evolved into a great social event as the Corvette and the
owners have matured and Corvettes multiplied and morphed into C4, C5, C6,
etc. Some with a long history attending this event will look back and regret
some of the changes, however there is still plenty to see if you are a
plastic fantastic admirer. I never fail to see something new and never
fail to meet new and old friends.
