Cant say ive ever thought of the Corvette as a wedding car but it seems that a few people have done it...

I used my 1968 C3 as my wedding car
(I would put a photo up, but don't appear to have any on this laptop)

I took the groom to his wedding in a C4 convertible once, glorious day, top down. A friend used my 65 to do the same thing a couple of times.

James has been rather quiet on the C3 front, is he/are you still looking.

It turns out I lied, I found this humourous photo of us. We had just arrived at the reception, and had our guests gathered outside to meet us - we shot them all with Nerf guns. (and yes, mother in law was my first aim )

* Deliberately parked badly as white car shouldn't have been parked there on the day, to allow wife with wedding dress on to get out fine and Vette doors to open fully. Thus I'm up close to the blue car.

Always looking but being careful is key.

My sidepipes have the "standard" covers over them. So they aren't that hot really (except for the actual tips). The downside though is that some people think "Owww... step bars to help me climb in" (aka like high up 4x4s)

Kids at car shows trying to see in the side window.

That’s always been the problem of side pipes, children have always stood on them at car shows.

 

[Nassau65]

And their parents let them do it, even helping them up on them to look inside the car.

You know, I'd not even considered that at car shows. It would be just my luck though - one of my last car shows pre-covid was with a club. I parked my car up in a nice big space at the club stand, chatted with the team, then wandered off around the event to look at other stuff. Whilst away, the club decided to reshuffle the stand and someone ended up parking next to me leaving not much space. More than a carpark space, but still too close considering we're at a show. Anyway, I came back to find a perfectly straight scratch mark going all along the passenger side. I can only assume it was some moron show visitor that decided to push their pram / buggy between the cars to look at them, but not noticing the scratch. I asked the club people and they didn't see anyone do it. Thankfully a bit of scratch and swirl remover managed to get the scratch out as it wasn't that deep.

 

[Nassau65]

That’s very true, not done on purpose, just carelessness. Another is people leaning over or into the car with belt buckles damaging/scratching the paintwork. Again not on purpose .

There is a 'mindset' from some visitors to cars shows (probably more accurate to say 'events where classic cars are shown' rather specific shows) who do not particularly care about damaging vehicles.
Their logic will be "I've paid all this money for myself, the missus and the kids, I want to get my moneysworth - scratching the cars is not my problem - people shouldn't bring their cars if they don't want them scratched".
Needless to say, these are the same people who will get in the cars and put their kids in the cars without asking permission and get the AH when 'remonstrated' with. For these people its an alternative to paid rides at funfairs etc.

Exactly correct. I wonder if these people think the exhibitors get a cut of the entrance money where in reality we have usually paid to be there ourselves.. but that would require them to actually think so thats unlikely.

 

[James Vette]

Why get so close? The stance of a car is better when you're standing back.

 

[Derek Nicol]

Some people prefer to look with their hands.
