      Saturday was a good day. I attended a huge vintage VW show, saw a rare muscle car (more on that later), and then as I was about to go home, I overheard a few people talking about a bunch of old Fords down the street. Of course, I had to know more, so I…

Just say the word “Corvette,” and almost anyone you ask could instantly describe some iteration of the iconic marque for you.
