'53/'03 CEC 04-14-2009, 01:17 PM Hi 73VG !!
I just attempted to post 3 pics of the 53/03 - waiting for approval. The only other is next to the T-Bird jet.
We are usually at 14 and Woodward at the AutoZone Book and Model shop. The owner is also the builder of my car and owner of AAT.
The Grand Sport Registry's annual event this year is the Dream Cruise. So if you know any GS owners give a shout and I'll give them the Registry/Event info.
73VetteGirl 04-14-2009, 01:38 PM Your avatar pic is very cool!!!

How did you decide to go that direction with your C5?
Looks good :thumbsup:
Thanks ;-)
For years I had hopes GM would do something "old" looking for the 50th, but with all the power, etc. Then in 2000 I saw pics of the CEC prototype. I just fell for it. The concept was offered to GM but they "passed". Thankfully, I guess if GM had it I probably couldn't afford it ;-)
Anyway, I learned the final design was done and built by a company about 10 miles from me. I visited them, realized the company was all you'd want it to be and took it from there.
Long story, longer, that design was my dream for the 50th and I actually got it, right down to the color combination, like they were reading my mind.
I had 3 C5s and kept one but the black convertible became the CEC.
Thanks to all for the kinds words.
