7 SPRINGVILLE PARADE Cavalcade of Bands 2015 Saturday, May 16 th, we were heading south on Rt. 219 toward Springville. I was driving my 1966 Corvette Stingray convertible and Karen was driving her 2002 C-5 convertible. It was a gray day, so we were watching the weather all the way down. We noticed the shoulders of the road were wet and so was the passing lane. With luck, we got to the Burger King in good shape. There we met Mel and Diane Skeide, John Kowalske, Pete Ricigliano and Joe Dionne. Mel and Diane also brought their two Corvettes, the 1958 and I really thank all you club members for attending this event on such an iffy day! Once at the school, we lined up to get our Queen for the Day. The parade was just about to start at 1:00 PM and it started to drizzle, not hard but enough that the convertible tops and the tee roofs had to go back on. So the girls rode in the cars along the parade route. Three drivers carried queens on a second run through because we were short on cars. The drizzle had stopped so the last girls got to ride in open Corvettes. Pete gave his riders a real thrill. He let them drive his Corvette in the parade to wave to the crowd in town. Once the parade was over, Lyle Manchester and Suzanne Manchester invited us to Papa Jake s Bar & Grill for lunch. The Kiwanis club of Springville, who sponsored Corvettes of Buffalo drivers, treated us to double orders of appetizers. We had chicken wings, mozzarella sticks & sauce, artichoke & spinach dip and a super chicken taco salad. Even after all of that, some of us still ordered Papa Jake s famous burgers off the menu. Karen and Diane each received a red rose from Suzanne because the two ladies drove their Corvettes in the parade. Joe Dionne had a battery problem with his red C-4 coupe, so Pete had to jump- start his Vette for him. Once started, Joe decided to head home and didn t stay for lunch. Some of the queens also ate lunch at Papa Jake s as did Mrs. New York State who rode in a new Camaro convertible in the parade. We had a chance to visit with them all and had our pictures taken. We had a good time! A rain shower passed through while we were in the restaurant, but by the time we left, it had stopped and the roads were all dry. It was a very good day!!

8 1967 Corvette Restoration The 1967 Corvette has been in hiatus for over 2 decades and as my friend Bill says" Gene, It's time" ; so when the year turned, I had the gumption to 'pull her out of the barn' and start the PROCESS. I took a few shots of her to document the way I got her in This year she (ie: the engine) started reluctantly with a little coaxing and as a result, I had to rebuild the OE Holley carb as well as the fuel pump. Took a look at the 'gas door filler area' and guess what - the tank sticker was visible and still in virginplace. The left rear caliper needed rebuilding, so with that behind me, the restoration PROCESS of body-off will begin, and back to silver pearl paint as she was born with. Keep you all posted, as the timeline restoration continues on this un-molested numbers match 1967 Vette; again as Bill states "Gene, you've got a lot to work with here"!

9 To My Extended Corvette family, At May s meeting we met with Joe DeMarco the founder and one of the many pilots who fly the Wings Flights of Hope planes. After watching the five minute presentation on exactly what they do, we were all pretty amazed on how they fly people in need of medical transport all over the Country, from the average poor soul to the Hall of Fame quarter back of the Buffalo Bills and It doesn t cost anyone a single penny. These are real pilots doing good deed s at no cost to the patient. The donation that Corvettes of Buffalo gave them was very much appreciated by Joe and the Wings crew. Let me thank everyone again for choosing them as our charity this year and hopefully for more years to come. We were looking for a charity with low or no overhead, and a good cause, I think we found a winner in Wings Flights of Hope. Thanks, Mike B. CORVETTES of BUFFALO 9

15 PROSPECTIVE MEMBER Michael Benaquist When I was a youngster my dream car was a corvette. My neighbor had a corvette, and I always said I would own a corvette someday. I stopped by one day in the afternoon to ask him what year the car was, and so I could see it close up. They also had a Buffalo news paper station at their house so in the afternoon the car wasn't there. It was a 1967 corvette. I eventually grew up and had some Camaros, and always said I would own a corvette someday. I inherited a 50th anniversary Z06 and I now work at Paddock Chevrolet and sell many corvettes. When they started to sell the C7 at Paddock Chevrolet, I definitely didn't want a first year, new generation corvette. When they started to park them in front of my desk they grew on me. They parked a Laguna Blue corvette in front of my desk and it didn't take long before I sold mine on craigslist in three days. Then I placed a factory order. I am now a corvette owner for life!!!!

16 The Next Generation? We are all corvette enthusiasts and we love to drive, show off, wash, wax, rebuild, do routine maintenance, upgrade and protect our beautiful corvettes from all the little bugs and/or the big birds that can make a mess on them. And occasionally we get to add another member to our family. This is a short story about my corvette family. It all started in 1962 when my Dad bought a new 1962 roadster, my Uncle Jim was driving a red 1957 fuelie and in 1965 my brother-in-law drove up in a new midnight blue coupe with loud side pipes. I was hooked and wanted a corvette as soon as I could afford one! It took me awhile, but it finally happened in 1968, when I fell in love with a dark green 1967 roadster with side pipes. I put a deposit on my dream corvette but since I was under 21 at that time, my Mother would have to co-sign for the loan. She refused, saying it was too fast and dangerous. So I ended up having to wait for my corvette. So a few years later when it was my 50 th birthday, I bought my first corvette! It was a 1998 C5 pewter Coupe, and it was a beauty and I loved it! I always kept thinking about my dream car, the 1967 roadster with side pipes!!!!! I looked each trip to Carlisle for a nice 1967 but just couldn t find it. Then in 2005, some COB members suggested I forget about the 1967 and get the new C6 roadster. After looking at the C6 and doing some homework, I bought a 2005 Monterey red roadster and was not sorry at all. It was a beauty and I loved everything about it. CORVETTES of BUFFALO 16
17 But wouldn t you know it that in the spring of 2006, a green 1967 roadster with only 32,000 original miles came calling my name! After, I asked Pete Ricigliano to help me inspect the frame, engine, etc I bought it and yes it was a beauty and I love it! Well, having two corvettes was great but Maureen said three is a crowd, so with a tear in my eye, I parted with my 98 Coupe and began restoring my 1967 dream car. That restoration is a long story and I do not like talking about the details. But like most fairy tale stories everything turned out great! After That brings me to the Next Generation. When the new C7 was introduced at the 2013 Detroit International Auto Show, a group of COB members went to see them. I must admit, I liked what I saw and heard but decided not to be the first in the club to get a C7. So I waited until February 2015, and decided to order a new C7 for my birthday. I considered the new Z06 but quickly decided that it was not practical for traveling or wet roads. I ordered the LT3 metallic Shark gray with Adrenaline red interior, and ZF1 option but the big question is will I be happy with an 8 Speed Automatic paddle shift transmission? All of my corvettes prior to this have been standard transmission I will let you know later this summer. As Maureen and I drove this beauty home from Paddock Chevrolet, I made another executive decision. I predicted that my Shark gray C7 will likely be upgraded to the new C8 when they are available. But for the next 3-4 years I will drive and enjoy the C7 as I begin my retirement! Save the Wave! Skip Polowy CORVETTES of BUFFALO 17
18 GM s $439M Paint Cover-up? Is the funding for the paint shop merely masking the first mid-engine plant preparations? Rick Tavel Corvette May 23, 2015 Yesterday we reported a story released by GM about their $439M Bowling Green Assembly plant expansion and upgrades with most of the funds earmarked for a state of the art paint facility. ( $439M Corvette Paint Shop Announced ). But after much thought and consideration the almost half billion dollar financial investment, one of the largest expenditures in plant history and four times the investment GM made gearing up for the new generation C7, Corvette believes the new paint shop is part of an elaborate paint cover-up merely masking even more important upgrades for future production. Based on the size of the investment it is hard to justify for merely paint and Corvette wonders if much of the $439M will not be used for preparing the plant for the Corvette C8, which is rumored to include a new mid-engine design. To get Bowling Green ready to produce a mid-engine platform would take this type of massive investment. Earlier this year on an episode of Autoline Detroit the Corvette s Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter denied a midengine Corvette is being developed for the next generation Corvette there have been several stories disputing his claims. Perhaps the best case for the mid-engine concept has been made by long time automotive journalist, technical director of Car & Driver and Corvette owner Don Sherman. Corvette detailed our position in articles earlier this year, The Inevitable Mid-Engine Corvette and a later article The Most Compelling Argument in Support of a Mid- Engine Corvette. If there were a mid-engine Corvette in the works, one of the biggest obstacles to keeping it under wraps would be the massive plant upgrades necessary to produce an all new mid-engine platform well in advance of the production. With an investment of $439M, four times the amount needed for the C7 plant upgrade, it may be easy to hide the funding and mask the work for the upgrades necessary to produce a mid-engine platform. So Corvette wouldn t be surprised to learn down the road that this plant upgrade encompasses far more than the state of the art paint shop. We think it may very well include the first upgrades necessary for the inevitable forthcoming mid-engine GM sports car. Photo source: Car & Driver CORVETTES of BUFFALO 18
