hard top, soft top, red corvette...what was funny, my Dad had to put a block of wood on the clutch pedal, so I could reach it...imagine, $1300.00 - I got married, so had to sell after kiddos came along..I sold it to my brother for $3000 - he used it for years, as collateral when he bought his car carriers....he still has it, but the place where he stored it in the winter, was broken into and the hard top stolen....

One of the most memorable trips was North on RT 1 to Ipswich Mass....going through Topsfield Mass. was like being on a roller coaster, ups and downs....best seafood at MacIntyres, and Cranes Beach of course..but that wood block allowed me to sit upright in the seat...

Thanks for the trip down memory Lane...
