Today we laid cousin Paul to rest, after losing his battle with multiple health issues, at age 83.
I had the privilege and honor of leading the procession with the Corvette for the ten miles from the church to the cemetery with Brian riding shot gun. I was reminded how sweet this car runs and drives.
For now it will remain in the garage at the farm until it is decided who will carry on the legacy of this family heirloom.
A side note, at the Cedar Rapids Regional the Corvette missed Top Flight by 7/10s (seven tenths) of a point! Of course the wheels were turning, Reinstall the original water pump, power antenna, and plug wires, shocks, proper tires....
Attached is a pic that my cousin in CA recently sent me, taken while Paul and his brother Arlin were visiting family in Pasadena in the late 60's. Note the Safety Checked decal on the lower left of the windshield that remains on the car today.
