Sad news - we lost one today....

[Stemmer]

A 54 year old man was killed yesterday when his 1963 Corvette Coupe left the highway north of Halifax...

I did not know this individual but I believe I may have photographedhis car earlier in the year at a local car show and used his image as the source of a digital painting I posted here earlier in the summer. There aren't very many '63 Split Window Coupes around here.

Here's a link to the news story....

Local tv reposts have stated the car was a 63 Corvette Coupe...

Here's a photo of what I believe was the car totaled...

R.I.P. my Corvette brother....

Very sad. I hope he enjoyed his Corvette - and his life - to the fullest extent possible.

May he rest in peace.

That is sad. :cry

I am a grave digger by trade so I have to ask. Are they burying the car too? Sounds dumb but you wouldn't believe the requests some families have. Just thinking that Digger is going to have a long day. :ugh

Sad news. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
This is a reminder to check for safety items. I will be installing a shoulder belt.
God bless

There is a red 63 SWC in Halifax. I just sent off an email to see if he is ok.

Victim of crash near Elmsdale identified


RCMP have identified the 54-year-old man killed in a single-vehicle crash Sunday night near Elmsdale.

Liam David Currie of Halifax was driving his red 1963 Corvette on Highway 102 at about 5:50 p.m. when the car left the road near Exit 8.

The Corvette landed on its roof and Mr. Currie was thrown clear as the vintage Vette had no seatbelts. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

I read that. I was also afraid it was a different red 63 SWC I know of in Halifax.
