    A peek at the 2013 Corvette w/the special 60th anniversary trim.

    This afternoon...The Wife and I took a pleasant, 1.5 hour drive up to Bud's Chevrolet, in St. Mary's, Ohio,
    to take a look at their new 2013 Corvette convertibles that are decked out in the special 60th Anniversary trim.

    Here's a few photos...

    Thanks for looking!

    BTW...Pretty nice Corvette model---but we're not taking the bait.

    Those do look nice...I don't think I have ever seen a dealer store cars inside like that before...but I guess they are Corvettes, after all.

    But if you happened to see the 427 Convertible, you would take the bait. Such a nice car in person.

    He usually has this warehouse and a couple of other buildings full.
    But Bud's (as well as other Corvette dealerships) inventory is down due to the
    Bowling Green assembly plant currently not being able to keep up with the demand
    for the C6's during its final (and abbreviated) year in production.

    HMMM...What's all this fuss about a bad economy during this current election-cycle, anyway?

    Bud's had some of those, also...but not in the special 60th Anniversary trim.

    Still won't bite though...Not enough HP/Torque, for me!

    Nice looking car, what's the premium for the 60th anniversary package? Not sure I'm fond of the blue top?

    The 427 in that color scheme (60th) will become a collectors item. I would love one, but wifey says NOT until kids are away in college. Suppose thats because the black one now in the garage only has 12k miles.

    Probably for some younger folks...
    But for me to get, at the very least, the return of the purchase price of the '427 model'...
    I'd only have to live to be around say: 127 years old, or so.
