1961 C1 Roadster

LIVING THE DREAM

I have always wanted a Corvette. This May while visiting our son, daughter-inlaw and granddaughters in Palatine, Illinois, our son suggested we visit the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois.

​

When we saw this 1961 Corvette, Carol jokingly said there’s your car.

​

When we returned home to Tucson I started thinking about it and began emailing the museum to find out more about the car. I decided to purchase it on June 5th (our anniversary) and the rest is history. I tell everyone that I graduated from high school in 1961 and this is my high school graduation present to myself
