Yesterday five C3VR members met up at the Bow Tie Vettes Cruise In in Vancouver WA.  (Well actually it was four if you group Mikey and I together!)  It was the first event for Bow Tie Corvettes and included any American car.  Seemed to be a big success!  There were many cars and people there and it was a beautiful day.  (Should have used sun screen...burnt the back of my legs!) doh

The C3VR folks who attended (in addition to Parrothead and I) were cilrah (Mark), 767REP (Todd) and rraider1 (Bob). There were lots of Vettes and a couple other C3s.  We gave them info about the site so hopefully they'll come check us out! 

Here's a link to the pics:

No we didn't have a banner.  That's something we discussed acquiring though.  How do we get one?

I've never seen that type of T-Tops (on 767rep's car).  Are those custom?

The T-tops were made for Chevy in 1976 for the 77 model,there was some fight between the vendor and Chevy and Chevy decided not to take delivery.In 1978 the glass tops were produced at the factory but there were few 77 tops that were sold by the vendor to the public.That is where my t-tops originated.

Yup...in mid'75, the original vendor & Chevy couldn't come to terms on $$$ and credit for the tops, so the original vendors went ahead and made/sold them as aftermarket items, some even thru the dealerships...
