Well, we survived the car show!!! What a turnout!!! We had 69 registrations and Wesley would have been 69 today. We raised $2351.36 at the show and when you add the $500.00 check from the Classic Glass Corvette Club, you can do the math!! I feel so elated and thankful for my besties who helped me today and especially to Tonie Etter and Keelie Keelie Ogle Sparks who have lifted me up and made me believe I could do this. I couldn't have made it without the two of you. A big thanks to Keelie's boyfriendJerry Floyd for getting the Bonneville to and from and for Frank Macaluso for doing the same for the '57. Thanks to Sandi Johannes, Carol Brewer, Vivian Macaluso, Cindy Gaylor Cowart for helping with registration and helping Toni Etter sell 50/50 tickets. Congratulations to Vivian Macaluso who won the 50/50 pot which grew to over $1000.00 of which she got half. BTW we would not let her donate it back....takes away all the fun. Also thanks to Keith Cherry for his donation of Garth Brooks CD collection. Also, big thank you to Calvin Cruce for his never ending giving at being our event photographer. (what would I do without you??) A big thanks to all who took time out of your day to show up, donate to a worthy cause, and help me celebrate Wesley's love of wheels. If I left anyone out, please inbox me and I will grovel to the person I overlooked :-).

The tall rear window of earlier years gave way to a cleaner fastback design that improved visibility and aerodynamics. Inside, Chevrolet focused on comfort and drivability, quieter…
