Dad’s new Z51 C8

[SMS]

My dad just turned 89 and treated himself to a new Vette. My wife and I met mom and dad at the dealership when he picked it up. A very Special day. 63 years of evolution between our cars.

Great looking pair of Corvettes. I would be happy with either one. Last year I thought it would be great to buy a new C8 and finally own a Corvette. I soon found it isn't so easy as I'm on three waiting lists and still have no idea if I'll get one this year.

Your Dad is 88, but his thoughts are of a 28, good for him.

Great choice of photos showing the front end and back end of those Corvettes!

Thanks for sharing a wonderful moment in your lives.

Dad has always loved Corvettes and old Chevys. This is his current Atomic Orange Z06 and his 71 4 speed Roadster that was his year ‘round daily driver for 20 years. He is NCRS member 1030 so he’s been at it awhile;)

One more. Here is the 59 with correct wheels. I swap them around per my mood.

Talk about bad to the bone. Never a dull moment with those two. Always keeping the faith. When I grow up, I wanna be just like them! Congrats!

Ha! I just re-did the math today. He’s 89 so I edited the op.

What a great story, thanks for sharing. Just waiting next to see the "New Toy" licence plates.

He might do that, but for now he's transferring BUKT LST off the Z06 to it.

Man, I hope I'm half as cool as your dad when I'm his age.

Love the new C8s and the steel wheel look on the "OLDTOY" is killer.
