Sunday 16th August 2009, "Corvettes on the Coast" QCC
Concourse - Surfers Paradise
Finally, perfect weather for a perfect day!
The Committee, Delegates and Members of the Queensland Corvette Club wish to thank their sponsors, guests and members of the public for helping to make the 2009 "Corvettes on the Coast" Concourse, such an outstanding success. Special thanks to our concourse committee and dedicated helpers for their efforts to insure the day was planned and conducted efficiently and without incident.
Approximately, 60 beautiful examples of the Corvette Marque were displayed in a beachside park on the Esplanade at Surfers Paradise. This display was well attended by members of the public, keen to get close to these classic machines.
There was a very informative demonstration from James of Surf City Garage, introducing their impressive variety of the latest cleaning and polishing products. Camp Quality had their Bush Bash car along for the day and brought lots of great information about this wonderful cause as an encouragement for people to become involved with this special charity. And, the boys from Clagiraba Rural Fire Service were nice enough to bring one of their fire engines to help draw the crowd. Our friends at Performax International displayed their beautiful C6 - the very latest of all models on display.
Thank you to all QCC members that attended, individual entries and especially, the large group from Corvettes Down Under. Everyone's attendance helped make the day such a great success.
Thanks to Mike & Jaimes for their photos. Congratulations to this year's trophy winners and a big thank you to all entrants.
