No. We are going to the C5/C6 Bash on April 28. We were invited to go at that time by the NCM...we have a schedule conflict on the May gathering and can not go.

George McGriff Hi Everyone My father, George McGriff, will be attending the C5/C6 bash in Bowling Green. However because of his health we will only be attending for Thursday and Friday am. We needed to go Thursday to take the tour of the Corvette Plant and his health is to fragile for an...

Thanks Hey Sargent Preston...how are things up in Canuckistan? I bet your weather is colder than us here in MI...and we're cold...lol. Thanks for editing Tom's email address. I would have never thought of that. I will be more careful in the future. I did forget to mention that Tom Harmon's...

There is another..... Hi Everyone, I have just been contacted by the son of Carl Harmon who worked on the 1953 Corvette with my father...George McGriff. Mr. Tom Harmon stumbled across me..lol...while looking for information on the 1953 and a possible connection to his father on this site. If...

Thank you for the welcome. My experience here on this site has been incredible. Everyone has been so very friendly and helpful. Thankyou everyone for your interest, your help and your kindness. I hope my dad and I get a chance to meet some of you in person. Pat

Brett Thank you for the kind welcome to the CAC. My dad and I will be looking forward to meeting you and other 1953 fans in April...even though its a C5C6 Bash I'm hoping some 53 fans come. We tentatively plan on arriving on Wed and leaving on Sat so we may tour the plant on Thursday...

Yup and gas was around 10 cents a gallon then. We used to get a dollars worth of gas...that would last quite a while. A dollars worth now will barely get you out of the driveway. Thanks Mac now I feel old...

Car Price Thanks again for your help Mac. I just wish newsprint scanned better. The NCM has offered the use of their high tech scanner, so I'll rescan them when we go down there in April. What I found amazing is the price of the car in the newspaper article. The 1953 Corvette, in 1953, was...

Pictures I would like to give a big thankyou to SebringBill and Jane Ann for the pictures of my father from the 2003 SACC convention. I was a real treat for me to log on to this site and see those pictures of my father. I woke him up this morning just to tell him he was on the internet.:) I...

Oops sorry I am so very sorry. I guess I need to verify some of the things my Dad says. Nolan Adams did not own the three Corvettes mentioned...#4,#12,#14. He only had one and I'm not sure of the number. LOL...sometimes dealing with my Dad is like that TV show "Bleep MY Dad Says" with...

Mr. Richey Just finished talking with dad. With his Alzheimers he has a big problem remembering names. The name Shirrell Richey did not mean anything to him. He did know a couple of people from the Motorama Corvette but couldn't remember names. For example he remembered Nolan Adams as...

Wheelcover Thank you for the interesting question: Yes you are right. There was a part shortage. They couldn't build the special designed wheelcovers fast enough. The dome shaped wheelcovers you see on some of the 1953's are actually from a 1953 Bellaire.

Thank you for the welcome. Mr. Mike Thank you for the kind welcome. I will ask Dad about Shirrell Richey. I will see what he remembers. My dad, though physically healthy, suffers from Alzheimers. Things in the past he remembers quite well but recent events are harder. That's why I'm on...

Email Address Mac If you would please send me your email address I will send you the picture I have scanned. I know your address is probably listed somewhere but I'm still a newbie at this.

Thank you Jane Ann, I have not yet learned how to publically reply to an individual. I hope this message gets to you. I want to thank you for your help. I have sent a message to SebringBill, expressing my thanks for his kind words and a thanks for his help as guide at the 50th anniversary...
