MCACN Corvettes

My MCACN 2017 display featured 5 of the 1967 L88 Corvettes, some Tripower 427 Corvettes and 2 Guldstrand GS90 Corvettes.

I am currently reviewing applications for the 2018 Corvette Legends Invitational display which will feature both the 1968 L88 Corvettes and 1969 L88 Corvettes! I hope to display the largest continuous gathering of L88 Corvettes every year!

I will be inviting these Corvettes by word of mouth only. I will not be handing out paper invitations as I have in the past. Each and every participant in the display will have official certificates placed into their Corvette at MCACN from both the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals which will be signed by Bob Ashton, and also an official certificate signed by me indicating your participation in my Corvette Legends Invitational Display at the show in 2018.

So, for 2018, I will not be announcing which 1968 or 1969 L88 Corvettes will be featured in my future publications of Corvette Legends Magazine. I’m going to keep that a surprise. So my 2018 display at MCACN will always be your best bet for maximum exposure for any Corvette owner.

Please contact Bob Ashton at MCACN for official registration into the Corvette Legends Invitational Display at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN) in Chicago.

Here are some photos from my 2017 Corvette Legends Invitational display at MCACN, the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.

I’ve been a sponsor of the MCACN Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show since its inception in 2009.  In 2015, I sponsored the new Corvette Legends Invitational Display, which has continued year after year.  Here you will find photos and descriptions of all the previous participating MCACN Corvettes from the display.  This list is continually updated through out the year so you can always find something new! If you are a true Corvette enthusiast, The MCACN Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals is a show you should attend!

The 2016 display featured some rare developmental models, original unrestored models, and also contained 4 of the total of 66 N03 optioned “Tanker” Corvettes.  I will be posting photos and articles on each car from my display as time permits.  So keep checking my site for updates.

Please check back often as more Corvettes from the former displays will be posted.
