Mar 03, 2013 00:52 | #1 The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles hosted Corvette Day, and the 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray made it West Coast debut. Here's a few shots...    And for contrast, here's the very first Corvette made - the EX-122 which debuted at the GM Motorama in 1953...  When you see my camera gear you'll think I'm a pro.

It's part of the museum's art & science of aerodynamics display. I'm including the info sign, although I took a crummy shot of it.   When you see my camera gear you'll think I'm a pro.

They kept the doors closed, and with the glare from the spot lights, I could not see in very well. When you see my camera gear you'll think I'm a pro.

On the bright side...with each consecutive generation, the C5s are getting cheaper and cheaper...starting to be within reach -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-

Not that I want anyone to get hurt, but the new LT1 is going to be a monster of an engine swap just like the LS1 is right now. Aaron

I think most of it will grow on me eventually...I like the lines, and I think I'll get used to the headlights...but I doubt I'll ever forgive them the taillights haha...those belong on the Camaro, not a Corvette. -=Prints For Sale at PIXELS=-
