I’m not sure what it is, but as of late the first Saturday night of every month in Jacksonville, Florida seems to be pretty much perfect. Mid sixties and sunny, the weather was begging for a cruise-in and the crowd at the Hardees on Merrill Road formed early and stayed late.
Chevy’s Corvette was well represented. A pair of 1962 convertibles and a brand new 300-miles-on-the-odometer Z06 garnered plenty of attention – but only represented the many beautiful Vettes that found their way to the show. Which of course leads to the pressing question: Vintage or New?
We say BOTH.
Special thanks to the Sunshine State Chevelle club for hosting another successful cruise-in. Hope to see everyone again next month, February 7, 2015 from 4-7pm at 9111 Merrill Road.
