Ray Coleman - 2005 Corvette Coupe C6

I obtained my first Corvette in April of 2005.  I am a daily driver, joined three Corvette Clubs at first, and participated with all three clubs.  After awhile I felt I fitted in better with Corvette Owners Club of Houston and now maintain only the one membership. 

Entered the 28th Annual Chevrolet Corvette Expo in 2006 and under the tutelage of Club President Calvin Johnson was successful in getting a first place trophy in the “C6 Street Modified” category.  Entered car in the FM 1960 Saint Patrick Day Parade and obtained a second place.  Car received the “best interior” trophy in May 2006 in the 2nd annual Kemah Boardwalk show.  The car received a “People Choice” plaque in June 2006 at the Fox and Hound Car Show in The Woodlands.

Ricky of Corvettes of Houston and Chris of Richey Collision Inc. performed all of the work on my car.
