The iconic Chevrolet Corvette is a car that is on virtually every American's wish list of vehicles that they’d like to own. And while everyone has their own preference toward certain generations of the fabled GM sports car, they all share the same basic attributes: they’re fast, fun, and in the words of the 80’s pop duo “Roxette,” they’ve got the look.

"As the only all-Corvette auction in the industry, we are excited about the high-quality cars we're bringing to auction for collectors and enthusiasts of this marque," said President Dana Mecum. "This is a must-attend event with Corvettes in all shapes and sizes, from an original and unrestored '65 Sting Ray to Pace Cars, L88s and low-mileage anniversary vehicles."
On display at the show will be the ex-Tony DeLorenzo Corvette L88 Roadster – the earliest RPO-ordered L88 in know existence – that Mecum plans to auction on August 13-14 at their Monterey Auction.
