OK; I lied about not showing duplicates. The '53 just cried out for inclusion again. Can't have too much of a good (great) thing... |
| Man, the 36-year-old the interior sure looks dated -- but 'way cool! |

Here's the MAN. Zora Arkus-Duntov, the very first Corvette Chief Engineer with the camshaft that bears his name. |
| Another duplicate of one of Bob's pictures but I have an excellent excuse. I used to own a '60 identical in every way to this one. Heavy sigh. (The fact that this one is really a '59 doesn't bother me one bit!) |

Was there ever a Corvette with a V12? Here's proof! |
| Dave McLellan was Chief Engineer after Zora. I'd look happy too if I'd had that honor for SEVENTEEN years! |

While I was there a pewter roadster was just crouching there waiting for its new owner, Hank Sipsman to pick it up -- and he was a day late! One day I hope Hank will join us in the C5Registry; I'd love to send him this picture. |
| And, speaking of "Who's the MAN?", here's the man who earned my everlasting respect by creating (and then fighting with GM for) the look and feel of the C5: John Cafaro And you just know he's thinking, "I wonder how we can keep those darned headlight cap plugs in place?" |
 |
| And the winner (and still champion) of the C5 "Who's the MAN?" contest: Corvette Chief Engineer Dave Hill. There's a rumor that this is NOT the life-cast that was donated by the C5Registry to the NCM but rather, Dave himself. Really. He comes to Bowling Green every morning early, paints himself with whitewash and stands there watching the Museum visitors drool over his baby. Really, it's not a statue; its really Dave! Really! |

Thanks for a great job, Dave! |
