Cruised Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey

Cruised across the Delaware Memorial Bridge into New Jersey - Finally - We are in New Jersey!! After getting turned around in circles by the GPS in Delaware, we are finally on the way. We will actually make it to Parsippany this evening - what a shock! We thought it was further than it actually was

The Gulf Station in Madison, New Jersey is totally awesome! A step back in Time - Just 8 miles from Parsippany.

Off to Lead East!!!


The 1963 Split Window Coupe Corvette is packed and ready for our cruise to Parsippany, New Jersey. Off we go ...............................

Chrome or Not to Chrome!!!


Wow - Look at what a change of wheels can do ---------Chrome Wheels made the grade - classy - shiny chrome - 20's on the rear and 18's on the front gave the chopped 1937 just what it needed...
