The First Historic Motorama
Janelle Crane's Motorama Pix
My name is Janelle Crane and I am from the Flint area. I belong to Team Corvette, a Corvette club in the area. My husband, Don, and I wanted to be a part of the Historic Motorama, but our car was not one of the lucky ones to be chosen. So, we figured if we couldn't officially be a part of the Motorama, that we would help them out any way we can. So our club offered to help with the parking of the cars at the Sloan Show in Flint and on the roof top of the old Corvette Plant in Flint. Along with parking, I mingled with the particpants and took a few pictures.

Here comes the Motorama onto the roof of the building in Flint where the first 300 Corvettes were built in 1952-3. For this display, the cars entered in reverse-order; except for Henry Younger's 2002, this shot shows all the C5s on the Motorama.

Here's my 2000 Coupe (Tag: FUN TOI) in front of the NCM!

With all the attention on the Anniversary Edition 2003 C5 there've been few pictures
of the "other" new color for 2003. Here's the Spiral Gray Metallic 2003 C5

This pair of matched-but-reverse-flamed Corvettes belong to Bill Buck Chevrolet and are on display at the NCM.

My husband Don and myself with Ray Quinlan, the NCM's Lifetime member #1.

Here are the bricks donated by the Primary Motorama participants commemorating this once-in-a-lifetime event.
