Are you a Chevy Man?
Every Chevrolet convertible since 1912
What do you suppose this collection is worth ?
This collection belongs to Dennis Albaugh in Ankeny, Iowa, just north of Des Moines ...
The personal and private collection consists of 110+ Chevrolet convertibles....
all years from 1912 to 1975 and Corvette convertibles from 1953 to 1975.
That is a Chevy convertible from every year of manufacture EXCEPT 1939.
The reason? - Chevy didn't make a convertible in '39 -- and ended its convertible line in '75!
His 'boy toys' include his own 18 hole golf course, copied somewhat after Augusta National.
He is what you call a REAL Chevy guy, but his passion seems to be convertibles ! This poor guy must barely make ends meet! HA HA
This billionaire made his fortune selling farm chemicals !

Camero too. Never liked the Vette -- all engine no subtly. Handled like a pregnant duck.

Will the Volt make any difference in how you perceive Chevy's?

I think the price of gas will make the difference in how you precieve Volt.
But to answer your question. No
Up to this point I have not bought compact.

I don't particularly like the Volt, mainly, because I think the price point is to high for a Chevy. I do think that the plug-in hybrid will be the transition genre to all-electric vehicles on a mass scale. My reasoning is that the plug-in relieves the fear of being stuck out in the boonies with no charger available that is high on surveys about why folks are not jumping on electrics.
Personally, I'm waiting for the Tesla sedan so that I can jump in all the way.

I always liked certain vettes...but never had one. My Fav years were 1962 (2nd choice)...and 1965 (1st choice). Rag top of course.
Had an old Camero and loved that car.
Other than that?...I'm a fan to the car...not the manufacturer.

I don't drive, but grew up in a GM town.
The allure of cars, their identities, personalities, the mechanics of it all, etc. always escaped me.
There is not a car out there that makes me drool. As far as I'm concerned, the whole industry holds no interest to me.
