They also put everyone on notice that CGCC was committed to being a part of North America’s largest monthly gathering of car enthusiasts. That gesture wasn’t lost on the other automotive nameplates which were struggling to find their place at Town Center Mall.

Flag planting aside, the question we hear most is, “What was the C&O experience like at the new venue?”

A Bite of History: Unicorn Restorations, the 1974 Camaro Z28

by Mike Thies

At any good car show, you will find 1957 Chevys in every form: survivors, frame-off restorations, and restomods. What you will rarely find is a 1958. That tells you something about the collector market. Not every year of a popular model becomes a true collectible. Buyers pick favorites, and those years get saved, restored, and passed down, while the years next to them…
