There are few cars as iconic as the Corvette. For a very long time now it has represented the working mans dreams. It’s affordable, it’s fast, and it’s good looking. So it is no wonder it is the longest running production passenger car. With all the fury over the new C7 it is sure to continue on well into the future. Today however we will look at Corvette history.
I recently in an offsite function called the C7 Chevy Corvette the greatest sports car on the road today. While that certainly hasn’t always been the case for the Corvette it has always been something special. So today we take a look at the Corvette through the years. We have some great pictures of several generations of Corvette as well as some really cool assembly line pictures of the C1. I think you guys will really enjoy it so hit the jump for Corvette overload.

The Great race is an event for vintage cars to tour the country in a road rally style event. The idea is not to get from point A to point B as fast as you can, but to do so consistently. It’s a way to race across the country in a safe, legal, but very fun way. Each team consists of a drive and navigator who can switch duties as they drive, the amazing thing is some of these cars are very small and it makes you wonder how in the heck two occupants fit in the things.
There is one big stipulation in all of this and that is the car must be pre 1969. As a result of that the Great Race tends to draw a cars of the vintage variety which I’ll readily admit I’m not so familiar with. So you can hit the jump and watch me inevitably screw up the names of several of these old racers. Then you can all point and laugh at me. Even though I may not know some of the names I certainly know cool when I see it and for that you’ll want to continue reading to see the very cool vintage racers which braved severe thunderstorms, 100+ degree heat, and the crumbling infrastructure of the American Midwest all to get out their beauties and go on an epic adventure, which is always cool.

With trucks and Rat Rods being the biggest trends running when you combine the two you have a sure fire hit. So today we check out a pair of sweet rat rod Chevy trucks from different eras. Both a long way from their working days and now living the good life on the show circuit.
The 1950s styling of the truck above is timeless. It reminds us of an era when trucks were for work and not every soccer Dad had one. You know this truck did not sit in a garage all day, putter to the office in traffic, and then take the kids out for dinner at night. No this truck probably saw duty on a farm, or maybe by a carpenter. It was probably muddy most of the time, never saw a garage, and put in more in one days work then most modern trucks do in their life time. You don’t get that perfect patina in suburbs. You get it by working. so let’s take a look at this and another classic truck who has been aged to perfection.
