Weekend Plans: NCRS Corvette Show and Mecum Auction

Our bags are packed and reservations have been confirmed. We’ll be spending some quality time in Orlando, Florida this weekend as two of our favorite Corvette events have hit the Sunshine state: The NCRS Winter Regional and Mecum’s High Performance Auction.

At the Winter Regional, our favorite pastime is to walk the vendor and swap meet area. I’m on the hunt this year for the logo inset that is housed in the middle of the spinner on a 1966 Corvette hub cap. I’ve also been toying with the idea to go retro with my license plate. Florida DMV allows classic car owners to use actual license plates from years past so I am going to look for a clean 1966 Florida plate.

At the Mecum Auction, we of course will be there on Saturday afternoon for the sale of Gulf One, the 1963 Corvette Z06 race car. The Flying Dentist, Dr. Dick Thompson will there to watch his old car get sold. Bob McDorman will also be selling a few cars from his collection of celebrity-owned and low mileage Corvettes.

So if you see this guy walking around either event, make sure you come up and say hi. We’ll have photos and videos early next week when we return.
