His long time prize possession Corvette, was transformed into an award winning car at many regional shows. The time commitment required for the shows encouraged the couple to just enjoy the car, and it was made more road friendly with wisely chosen upgrades. The couple celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Corvette by participating in the 2003 Corvette 50th anniversary trip
from New Jersey to Bowling Green, Kentucky. The El Camino came along and became the next project to get the comprehensive treatment the Corvette received.
