Corvette

When it rains, it pours. Well not exactly. Noting in the Flowers thread that I had not posted in a while, it now seems that I am on a roll. Went to lunch and spotted this classic car.
It never hurts to have the camera in the car.

Nice catch JB - a cool looking car. I believe that red ones go faster ? It looks like you could have also entered this picture in the "Photos with evidence of the photographer" thread here http://www.photoclubalpha.com/forum/vie ... =17&t=4245 .

Eagle eye Birma. I hadn't notice it. Nice shot JB.

Lovely curves and a wonder of colour red, JBTaylor!

You must take the camera to more drives ... : )

A '62, I think.

Great 'Vette JBT. I kinda like the modern wheels on it. I wonder if those brakes are modern units as well, judging by how well the fill the inside diameter of the wheel. John

If my memory is correct, I believe that drum brakes were used on the Corvette that year, not disc brakes.

I think you are right Tom. It looks like discs weren't available until '65. John

Thanks for the comments all.
I did feel a bit funny playing such close attention to someone else's car. But what the heck.

Wow, those wheels! I normally don't like modern wheels on classic cars, but American classics seem to accept "resto-modding" very well.
