Corvettes at Carlisle: Aug. 24-26, Carlisle, Pa.
More than 5,000 Corvettes are anticipated in Carlisle, Pa., for this annual rite, none more highly than a 1960 model, recently unearthed in Florida, that may be the long-sought third car in a Le Mans team fielded by Briggs Cunningham that year. More info.
