Antique & Classic Cars Blog

Jim Northrup sends in this gorgeous ‘64 Vette drop-top to remind us what the term “hit the jackpot” can really mean. His wife Patricia won this car at Black Bear Casino. Turning a roll of quarters into a cupful has never held much allure for me, but turning anything–including another car–into a classic Vette is very appealing indeed.

Since the missus is afraid to drive the car, that arduous responsibility falls to Jim and son, Aaron. Now I’ve been known to go the extra mile for a friend, or even a stranger, so if you guys find the car needs to get out and you’re too busy, I would be willing to forego other plans and take a spin for you–you know, just to keep it running smoothly.

I’m a little too old to have hit the height of the MySpace thing, but if I were a young man looking to put my best self forward, it would be pretty hard to top a shot at the wheel of a ’60s Vette. Next time the casinos are offering up Corvettes, someone give me a heads up!
