friggin place. My one chance to go in there, I was heading back across "America" in a hurry, and on a budget, but I'll drop ten bucks for the Corvette Museum! Rolled up there right at 8:00 AM according to the clock on the trusty T-Bird.
Slight problem. Timeline starts just before Bowling Green I guess, and I was an hour early for opening.
Took a picture of the T-Bird in front of their Corvette Museum sign and headed back to California.
What a frightening story.
Hope that 62 wasnt anything more special than a 62 Corvette.
Definite fondness for those early boattails.
The Devil take the rest!
