Default Norwood Reunion Photo Tour

<span style="color: #CC0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">Phil Borris, you are unbelievable</span></span>. I say this because he single handedly put together this event that left all invitees and reunion member speechless. From Scott Settlemire, FBODFATHER, rolling in with a 2014 ZL1 to the lineup of some of the finest machines to roll off the assembly lines of Norwood, I for one will measure future exhibit by this one.

To listen to the stories from the mouths of the men and women who built the cars, they have blown away all the reteric and so called experts of today with their inaccuracies. These workers did in 1 minute what some folks today say &quot;you'll need another 2 hours on that part&quot;

They spoke like parents who hadn't seen their children in 40 some years. One worker who was called &quot;Radio&quot;, looked at my 69 and said,&quot;this is my work, this is my baby&quot;

So enjoy some photos from the Reunion and remember <span style="color: #990000"><span style="font-weight: bold">The Echos of Norwood!</span></span>

Of course, Corvettes are welcome! Try taking a Camaro to a Corvette event. You get shunned. Not from us CHEVY lovers.
