~Vette’s for Vets Corvette show today in Haymarket, VA. Incredible turnout today with 220 Corvettes registered. Tommy Milner of the Corvette Racing team came by and was a Celebrity Judge. I was able to speak with Tommy for 30 minutes and he enjoyed sitting in my Red Mist Z06.
~ Tommy Milner of the Corvette Race Team was on hand today at the Vette’s for Vets show. We spoke for about 30 minutes about all things Corvette of course. I asked him to sit in my Z06 with Competition seats as he is 6ft 2 inches tall. He said the race car is more difficult to get in and out of due to the safety cage. I told him of my friendship with Doug Fehan and that I was at the 2011/12 Lemans Race as a guest of Chevrolet for winning a Couple of National Corvette sales contests. He enjoyed the memory as 2011 was his first Lemans race and the team Won its class that year!!
~Today in Haymarket, VA the staff (Chuck Berge) parked my 2023 Corvette Z06 next to one of the nicest if not “ the” nicest 1953 Corvette in the world. Two Corvettes 70 years apart! Only 300 Corvettes produced in 1953 and this is the 54th built and the restoration was done by a guy that has done full restorations on 40 1953 Corvettes! I’d say he knows this model Corvette better than anyone. I got to spend time with the owner and his son and two dogs all morning and it was a pleasure to speak with them both. They have quite the collection and have invited me to visit over the next few weeks! I’m looking forward to that visit!
Chevrolet Engineering built three factory race cars to introduce the new Rochester Fuel Injection in November 1956. In February 1957 two of the three cars were sent to New Smyrna, Florida after being prepped by Smokey Yunick to race in the first ever NASCAR sports car race. Here you see Paul Goldsmith getting ready for the day’s events where he competed against Carrol Shelby and others coming in 1st in class. To the left of the Nassau car is Mauri Rose three time winner of the Indy 500 hired by Chevrolet to support the Chevrolet / Corvette racing program. (Thanks Joe T.)
~ RIP Reeves Callaway. We first met in 1986 at Malcolm Konner Chevrolet and from moment one he always treated me as a friend. He will be sorely missed and my sincerest condolences to his entire family.
~I always enjoy when my Corvette customers travel 1 hour plus to use our Corvette Service team here at Criswell Chevrolet of Gaithersburg, MD. Especially when it’s Ted G. Of Catonsville, MD. Many good stories and one hour later he had his Shark Gray 2016 Corvette repaired and he was back on the road. I had to turn down his “lunch on him”offer. I told him I haven’t left the dealership for lunch in almost 6-7 years and that I brown bag it everyday. Great morning.
~Greg E. of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida has ordered Corvettes from me in the past and today he had the Red Carpet rolled out for him at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. Greg chose Elkhart Lake Blue for his 2023 Corvette Z06 Convt. And Black for the interior. Equipment list: 3LZ, Stealth interior, front lift, CF interior trim, bright Red calipers, black exhaust tips, spider black wheels, torch red seat belts, and adrenaline red stitching.
The photos are now supplied to me by Fotofx, a company that has been working within the Museum for the past 10+ years and now they have pkgs available for a truly special experience to be captured digitally. I recommend their process the next time you take delivery at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY!
~Wilhelm and Christine H. of Sparks Glencoe, Maryland bought their 2nd Corvette that they have ever owned, their first Corvette was a 1976. Today they drove home in an Amplify Orange 2023 Corvette convt! Equipment: 1LT, CF painted roof/nacelles, magnetic ride, performance exhaust, Stingray R pkg, bright machine faced wheels and low rear spoiler.
~ This weeks Top Corvette Barn finds and throwback pictures from around the globe!

The Orange C3 is my favorite. The black custom C3 convertible with Firebird taillights and the white C3 with the wooden luggage rack – both of them are limping hard!
Always Malcolm Konner photos. What’s the story of the dealership’s demise ?
Thanks!
