Corvettes Sailed Into Lawrenceburg

 

The Chevrolet Corvette is an iconic sportscar, perhaps the most famous such vehicle to every be made in the USA. The car first hit showrooms in 1953. Initially it suffered from being a bit under powered with the inline 235 cubic inch inline six-cylinder Blue Flame engine that produced a mere 150 horsepower. Still, it's use of a full fiberglass body kept the weight down. In 1955 a 265 cubic inch V8 engine became an option and since the engines have grown larger and faster. Now in its eighth generation, there are always Vettes at car events all over the country. The 9th Cruisin' to a Cure for ALS show in Lawrenceburg was no different. Here are some of the Vettes that were on hand despite the cold, wet weather.
