This was a special presentation of the new ZR1
by Kirk Bennion, Chief Exterior Designer.

Leaving home. I picked up Fern Gravel in Portland and met up with Mark Collins,
Pres. of Gate City Corvette Club, on I-95 in Newton MA.

The roads in Maine and upper MA were wet, only because of a liberal dash of salt!
 

We arrived well before the first presentation @ 10:00. Good thing: I was able to help Kirk and
Museum Curator Chuck Tramontana get the laptop to talk to the projector.

Kirk brought some ZR1 development mockup pieces for silent auction to benefit the museum.
 

This was the actual car that was first seen at the Detroit Auto Show in January. It was voted "Best In Show".
I LOVE the "Cyber Gray" on that car!
       

Kirk also displayed some of the development drawings for the car.
 

Kirk is a very entertaining and passionate speaker. He obviously loves his work and does it well!
