~The 2026 Indianapolis 500 Track and 500 Festival vehicles.

The 2026 track and festival vehicles were unveiled this morning at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for this year‘s running of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race. There are 50 vehicles in total, 13 of which are 2026 Chevrolet Corvette E-Rays and 37 Chevrolet Silverado RST pick ups with the 5.7L engine. The official pace car will be unveiled later this month.

~Unveiled in 1968 under Bill Mitchell, the Chevrolet Astro-Vette was a radical experiment in aerodynamics. With its elongated nose and enclosed rear wheels, this concept car pushed the limits of the Corvette’s silhouette. It stands as a peak example of 1960s space-age optimism, where General Motors prioritized bold, futuristic styling over practical production constraints.

~ I’m fortunate to only live 6 miles from the dealership, Criswell Chevrolet and super fortunate to live a mere 2 miles from Tony’s Corvette Shop in Gaithersburg, MD. I stopped by this afternoon to show Tony and his staff my ZR1X vin 00010 and to give Tony a “quick”ride. Tony was late getting back from lunch so I had to leave to drive across Maryland to the State Capitol, Annapolis for a Corvette Event tonight and then tomorrow I will be at the Corvette Event in Stevensville, MD just across the Bay Bridge near Kent Island.

*Tony’s shop has been working on all my old Corvettes since 1990 when I first brought him my 1959 Corvette.

The Corvette Annapolis Club held the Corvette hand wash night at the Chesapeake Car Wash & Detail Center. Approx 40 Club members brought their Corvettes tonight to be specially treated by the incredible staff at Chesapeake Car Wash. The Monthly club meetings are held in the Detail center and a big round of thanks from the club members goes out to Tom Morris. He generously donates his time and facility each month so the Corvette Annapolis Club is lucky to have Tom for the last 6 years. Enjoy the pics and the video I posted below in comments.

~ Corvette Annapolis had their first Corvette Event/Show of the year at the Cult Classic Brewing Co. across the Bay Bridge near Kent Island, MD. Approx 80 Corvettes registered and another 20 Corvettes parked outside the show field. Every generation Corvette was well represented from the oldest being a 1954 through 2026. Great job done by all the Corvette Annapolis club members that volunteered their time and the weather was stupendous with 70 degrees and blue skies which gave us Sunshine all day. I enjoyed discussing Corvettes all morning and handed out many posters and business cards, some wanting autographs and my ZR1X vin 00010 was a big hit at this event. Fun was had by all as always!

~Cornelius B. of Ellicott City, Maryland has now bought his last 3 New Corvettes from me, Red 2014 Z51, Black 2019 ZR1 and today he drove home in his Riptide Blue 2026 ZR1 Coupe and it’s fully loaded. He has also owned a 1982 and 1984 Corvette and currently owns all three of his Corvettes, ‘14,’19 and today’s ‘26 ZR1 along with a 1999 Yellow Prowler. I wish I had his garage space!

Equipment: 3LZ, Comp seats, stealth interior trim, front lift, level 2 CF interior trim, red calipers, dual roof pkg, dark stealth crossed flags, visible carbon fiber wheels, Carbon fiber aero pkg, red seat belts, and much more. Yes it was sold and delivered at MSRP as all of the specialty Corvettes are priced at MSRP through me here at Criswell Chevrolet of Gaithersburg, MD.

*New or Used…Contact me if you are seeking a new 2026 Corvette from Stock or a 2027 Factory order…especially for Museum delivery as the Museum staff truly rolls out the red carpet for my special order customers.

~David L. of Clear Spring, Maryland lives on the MD/Pennsylvania border but that doesn’t stop him from passing many Chevrolet dealerships to see me as this is his third Traverse that he has bought from me along with sending me several customers my way over the last 17 years. Today David picked out of our inventory a Radiant Red 2026 Traverse LT AWD. His new Traverse is equipped with the Midnight/Sport edition and Driver confidence pkg along with a few other options.

~ This week’s Top Corvette Barn finds, old Racing stills, Ads and throwback pictures from around the globe!

Drive safely and enjoy the week.

My favorite is the custom C3 Corvette with recessed rectangular headlights and 70s style custom paint.

I like the White INDY 500 conv in the Chevy AD picture ‘An American Revolution’ but would have to call this group of throwbacks the “Hodge Podge” collection of Corvettes.

In the new deliveries section, it looks like Dave L.’s wife is pretty disgusted with something. His choice of vehicle? Color? Sticker price? Another damn Traverse? I think poor Dave is in for a torturous drive home…

Mike, My 2 favorites this week, the Panama yellow ’58 rear view and the 1994 Copper ’94! My wife & I own one of the ’87 Copper Corvettes from 1987! Steve
