2013 Corvette Nationals - This Weekend!
The public Show 'n' Shine this Saturday runs from 9:00AM to 3:00PM. This is tipped to be the largest gathering of Corvettes in Australia this year. Models on display will range from the classics of the 1950s, right up to the latest C6 ZR1 supercar. The central location for the public display is at the Village Green, off Ruthven St. (New England Highway), Toowoomba. Public entry is FREE.
Held over the Easter long weekend, this year's Corvette Nationals - coinciding with the 60th Anniversary celebrations for "America's Sports Car" - are tipped to be a very special affair. Host club, the Corvettes Down Under Car Club, have confirmed more than 100 Corvettes are already registered.
Event partners for this year's Corvette Nationals are Performax International, specialists in RHD conversions for late model Corvettes.
In a first for the Corvette Nationals, the Easter Toowoomba event will feature a special guest from the USA. Eric Millette is an assembly line manager from the Corvette plant at Bowling Green, Kentucky. With the release of the C7 Corvette in January ahead of a late 2013 on-sale date (in the USA), Eric's insights into manufacturing the latest generation Corvette are not to be missed!
