Corvette Expressions 3rd Edition - Volume 143 September, 2018
Greetings, and welcome to the September, 2018 issue of Corvette Expressions. August weather wasn’t the only thing that was hot last month; how about Corvette Express’ first an-nual Hot Dog Run which took place on August 11. Dave S. and Bill Z. organized a fun cruise that in-volved traveling to several famous hot dog venues, sampling the goods, and rating each one in differ-ent categories. Lynne S., your pictures were out-standing as always! Ed A. invited members to participate in the annual Toys for Tots car show at the Home Depot in West Long Branch on August 26. Thank-you, Ed, for all you do for this good cause, and also to Al Q. for some great pictures. The next club meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 5. See you then! Lisa Force Newsletter Editor
Happy Labor Day! It's not over yet; there's great weather ahead and plenty to do. I've been busy doing my usual Corvette repair and restoration work, so I haven't seen much of the membership, outside of our monthly meetings. I've recently worked on, what most people would consider, the "top dog," and certainly a very desirable and valu-able Corvette, a 1967, 427/ 435HP tri-power. This particular car is highly optioned, and I'll tell you, when it's running, the exhaust note from those factory side pipes is amazing. Pure power! So that brings me to this year’s Corvette show in Car-lisle PA. Good weather, nice turnout of cars and guests. The past few years, this year no exception, the late model cars and performance accessories dominat-ed the show. As I walked around and saw fewer C1's and C2's, I couldn't help but think, "that's where it all started". Turning wrenches has given way to technolo-gy; nothing wrong with that, but the "experience" is completely different. Those of you who have never spent time with these older Corvettes are really miss-ing something. So, as the fall approaches, we will focus on new activ-ities, elections for officer and committee positions, and the continued growth of the club overall. Perhaps monthly "feature articles" in this newsletter, member reviews and highlights, etc... See you at the next meeting, Wed, Sept. 5th. Thank You. Yours in Corvettes, Rob Lombardi
