Chaz 'n Gael's Corvettes



    I love Corvettes.  I've loved them since I was fourteen and saw the '53 in a magazine.  I got my first one ('60 Roadster, 3-speed, Sateen Silver with white coves) in 1960 and, with a sad but notable exception, I've had one (or more) ever since.  When Gael and I married in 1966 our only car was a yellow 1965 Corvette so she was infected early!  Then there was the '67 yellow roadster...

    These pages are devoted to my Corvette experiences and our current rides: our '98 Black Targa (above) and - most particularly - our 1953-2003 Commemorative Edition Corvette.

    NOTE: We've recently sold our 1964 Silver Corvette convertible and our 1990 Red Corvette convertible.  Click HERE to see what I did with the money..

    If you're NOT a member of the Official C5/C6 Registry, be sure to click the link at the bottom of this page and find out all about it.  The C5/C6 Registry is a group of (presently) more than 7,000 C5 fans (fanatics?) that gather from time to time in person and every day on the internet to share experiences, learn more about this terrific car and have fun.  Great folks, great fun! Get with the program (even if you don't have a C5 or C6 yet).  You'll be glad you did.
