We’ve just closed the hood on Dream Cruise week here at your Detroit Bureau and what a week it was! The month of August here never disappoints, and this year was one of the best yet. We’ve already taken a look back at Wednesday’s Corvettes on Woodward event and Friday’s Woodward Dream Show. Now it’s on to the main event, the Woodward Dream Cruise.
With the eBay Motors auction slated to end Sunday, the high bid for this 1963 split-window Corvette coupe has already hit $72,950.
When it comes to longevity in the Corvette Hobby, there’s no beating the folks at Corvette Central. Since 1975, Corvette Central has been the “Caretakers of the Legend” by offering quality parts and accessories to Corvette owners who only want the best for their cars.
It’s only fitting that we are talking about dressing up your C8 Corvette’s engine bay the very same week that the world’s largest Corvette gathering is happening. You really owe it to yourself to stop by the ACS Composite tent at Carlisle to check out some of the latest parts and accessories available for America’s Favorite Sports Car.

On Friday, August 18th, Corvette history was made at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan. As part of their annual Woodward Dream Show, they assembled the first-ever gathering of Corvettes from every single model year. Collectively, the group made up their special Corvette 70th anniversary display.
70 years and 71 Corvettes
This display was special for a number or reasons, but it may be most remembered for 1 car in particular. That special car was the lone 1983 Corvette that made the trek up to Michigan from Bowling Green. We’re told that this was the first time that the 1983 car had ever left the National Corvette Museum.

The rest of the collection was an eclectic throng of Corvette’s 70-year history. Rarely optioned and special edition cars were seen throughout. Others were highly awarded cars within the NCRS and Bloomington Gold organizations. Several were low mile originals and others had been driven often and enjoyed thoroughly. We also got to see many of the options, features, and special editions that helped make Corvettes so special over the years. We saw fuelies, big blocks, pace cars, anniversary editions, and more. Don’t forget legendary options like L71, LT1, Z06, and ZR1. If that wasn’t enough, the Mako Shark, Aero Vette, and Transformers Concept were on display separately inside the conference center.
The cars were organized neatly by year in front of the M1 Concourse Event Center and greeted eager visitors as soon as they jumped off the parking lot shuttles. Each generation then had a white Corvette of the respective generation’s first model year placed right in front of the given group. Most of those had red interiors just like the 1953 Corvette. Coincidentally, the white 1983 Corvette ended up almost exactly front and center of the whole display. When completed, it was a cathartic walk through 7 decades of Corvette. A special Corvette moment for sure.

The 70th Anniversary Corvette display at the Woodward Dream Show was a special day for the Corvette hobby. We happily give a tip of the CorvetteBlogger hat to Hall of Famer Werner Meier and the M1 Concourse staff who made this display happen.

We’ve got some new spy pics and a quick video of a group of C8 Corvette prototypes to share today. These test cars were spied in the familiar stomping grounds in the town of Marietta, Ohio, which is located in Southeastern corner of the state. We appreciate our friends David Wesel and David Haas sending us these photos and video of the encounter.
Back in the late ’70s, I could have bought great C2 Corvettes all day long for $3,000 – but thought I had to have the latest, greatest new models instead. Gee, wonder which would have been the smartest investment?
