    I had a 1959 Corvette also. Fuel Injected, Inca Silver. I know not many were that color and I'm sure fewer that were fuel injected. Should have kept that car. Here is a sunny day picture with the Hard Top off.
    Currently have a 1989 560 SL, a Harley, and a van.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I'm surprised that no one noticed before:

    That AR-15 receiver's logo pays homage to the movie "Red Dawn":




    That alone makes me want to get one!

    I wonder if that was really the intent. If so, I agree it is cool.

    You have my admiration, 'Rustship'

    That's what life is really about -
    Work your rear-end off all your life and pass along everything you possibly can to your children and grandchildren.

    We could keep the 'toys' we accumulate for ourselves, and they'd pass away when we do.

    If we share our life and earned possessions with our family while we're still alive, our knowledge and life's experiences will live on for many generations.

    I know it doesn't always work like that in life because of reasons out of our control, but it's SO important to the generations who follow us if we try.

    Thanks cafdfw,

    My grandson lives with me of his own choice, I wonder why! I will admit I spoil him and his sister rotten. But in todays world these kids are going to need all the help that they can get. I am very proud of him (I guess it shows). He loves Guns, Paintball, Guitars, Cars, you name it. I'm going to show him off again here, and I hope this link will lead you to his You tube site ( which I helped him set up ) so that you all can enjoy his 50's, 60's, and 70's Guitar music. I got a lota time right now because I'm on Spring Break vacation, so my posts will slow down substantually next week. It was actually Brandon my grandson who has prodded me into collecting and gathering of M1icon carbines. If this link will take you to his youtube, enjoy this beautiful piece from the 50's.

    I would rather throw rocks in my creek with my 4 year old Grandson, Will, than shoot a truck load of guns.... We try to do it at least once a week.

    phillydude,

    I am a bit confused on your 1959 color, metalic green? Was it maybe Regal Turquoise? I don't see where a Green showed as a listed Corvette color until 1960 as a Cascade Green. It was 517A.. Lt. Green

    1959 Corvette Color Combinations were:

    502A..Lt. Blue
    503A..Black
    504A..Lt. Turquoise
    506A..Red
    508A..Yellow
    509A..Silver
    510A..Ivory

    513B..Lt. Blue/Ivory (two tone)
    515B..Ivory/Silver (two tone)
    516B..Lt. Turquoise/Ivory (two tone)
    518B..Red/Ivory (two tone)
    520B..Yellow/Ivory (two tone)
    527B..Silver/Ivory (two tone)
