As we go to press, we see 22 Corvettes consigned to the Carlisle Spring Auction with examples representing seven of Corvette’s eight generations. The docket shows multiple listings from the C1 thru C6 eras, and we expect to see a few more added as we get closer to Spring Carlisle. Here is how the offerings break down:

The diverse docket offers some great drivers that caught our eye. We particularly like this Yellow 1959 Corvette Convertible as well as a just listed 1967 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible with a 427 big block. On the more recent end of the docket is Red/Black 2003 Corvette Coupe as well as a Yellow/Black 2006 Corvette Coupe.

Here are three auction showcase Corvettes offered at the Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction that deserve a closer look.

1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe

Leading the pack is very desirable Riverside Red 1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe (Lot #501.1).
