Previously we shared some of the custom Corvettes we spotted at Corvettes at Carlisle. As the perfect bookend to that gallery, now we’ll share Corvettes just the way Chevrolet made them as displayed in the NCRS Gallery.
Each year the Delaware Valley Chapter of the NCRS hand selects special Corvettes to feature in the Gallery. The cars represent many of the NCRS’ various judging classes as the gallery helps to promote the NCRS’ mission of restoration and preservation of our beloved Corvettes.
The NCRS Gallery is housed each August in a massive tent next to Building R on the Carlisle Fairgrounds. On a hot Carlisle weekend, it’s always a welcome oasis of shade, cool Corvettes and friendly people. The cars are neatly arranged by model year with hoods and doors closed. They’re roped off from the crowds while small signs provide all the critical stats on each car.
While visitors wander the tent, NCRS members and the vehicle owners are on hand to answer questions about the NCRS, the judging process, and the cars themselves. They also have copies of the many NCRS judging guides for visitors to review.
Here’s a list of the 2023 NCRS Gallery honorees.
This 22nd edition of the NCRS Gallery featured cars from each of Corvette’s first 6 generations. They ranged from a classic Polo White 1953 representing the 1953-1955 judging class all the way up to a 2007 Lemans Blue Z06 representing the Sportsman award. This year even included a real deal Corvette Challenge car representing the 1988 class.
Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees and the organizers who assemble this great display each year. We can’t wait to see the cars they pick next year.

Can anyone explain why NCRS has a separate judging class for each of 1965, 1966 and 1967? I don’t see any other single year judging classes, and I don’t see why the differences between those three years would be considered sufficiently material to warrant three separate judging classes.
Impressive looking gallery.
