The Rest Of The Story – Patti & Mark’s Corvette Reclamation Project

The Rest Of The Story – Patti & Mark’s Corvette Reclamation Project

“And now, the rest of the story,” was a familiar tagline from legendary talk show host Paul Harvey. A generation of Americans grew up listening to his velvety voice that turned the news into narrative and entertainment each week on his famous radio segment, “The Rest of the Story.”

In many ways, this is the rest of the story we started several months ago with Patti & Mark. Our first article titled, A $1 Corvette Becomes Their Perfect Project told of their plans to put the Covid lockdown time to good use.

Since that first article appeared in this magazine, we’ve wanted to bring you the rest of the story. So, befitting this project, their story is written by them with their photos about their journey to get a barn-find Corvette back to life.
