Corvette Review - 2006 “10th Annual Sexy Car Buyer’s Guide”
Road and Travel Magazine.com

“Chevy once sported the phrase, ‘Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet,’ to claim ownership of the red, white and blue at heart. They missed a natural. Their motto should have simply been "Corvette," states writer Martha Hindes as part of her article in the June issue of Road and Travel Magazine.com where Corvette is one of 10 automobiles featured in the “10th Annual Sexy Car Buyer’s Guide”.

That would be there biggest market. People are buying new vette's and are just learning the heritage. They need to buy all the new vette goodies and attire.
Markets not as big and as profitable for the older cars.
Once your an owner ya good ta know and respect the older cars so off to the museum we go.
