On the Cover:

Rollie Walriven’s Daytona Blue 1963 Split -Window Coupe.  We’ve all heard and perhaps have lived this story: Young man buys a Corvette, has a blast with the car, falls in love, marries, it’s time for a house, and the Vette is out’a here! “Life” often gets in the way of Corvettes. This is not one of those stories - no, just the opposite. Story starts on page 58

OVRKL 2002 Custom Corvette Z06 Owned by Chris Johnson, Katy, TX

By: Bonnie Wolf
Photographers: Mark Jenkins & Luke Bhothipiti

This is a story about a man and his car that has gone from a daily driver with 113,000 miles on it, to Best of Show Corvette at the 2012 Corvette Chevy Expo.

Chris Johnson, an 11th generation Texan, ordered her up new. Chris, only 24 years old, was fresh out of graduate school when he decided he wanted to buy a Corvette. He picked his new 2002 ZO6 Corvette up at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY and drove her back to Texas. This particular Corvette has led a busy life under his care. Chris, greatly enjoying his car, has driven it as far west as the Pacific Ocean. He regularly auto crossed her for two years and even entered a high performance-driving event.

1976 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray had a makeover by Bulgarian interior specialist Vilner.

The outside is pearl brown with a calf leather-wrapped targa roof trim with decorative stitching.

Rear Vues: 1967 - The 1st SEMA Show

If you hang around "car" people very long, you are sure to hear the name SEMA.

You might be asking, just what is a SEMA?  

It is an event that has over 2,000 new automotive products on display, and over 2,300 companies filling over a million square feet held annually at the Las Vegas Convention Center.  

"It all began in 1963 when a group of small manufacturers who were suppliers of performance equipment for early hot rods organized their fledgling industry and called it "Speed Equipment Manufacturers Association" (SEMA).  From what I found, it was started by Roy Richter, Ed Iskenderian, Willie Garner, Bob Hedman, Robert E. Wyman, John Bartlett, Phil Weiand, Jr., Al Segal, Dean Moon, and Vic Edelbrock, Jr.
