We hold an Spring Corvette Show with admission being non-perishable food donations.
We hold a Photos with Santa program at Christmas time with admission being non-perishable food donations or Toys for area children. The toys are distributed by the Lions Club.
The food items are dispersed to the local towns and communities to area food pantries.
We greatly appreciate the support we receive from all the area businesses.

Corvette
Greenville Area Corvette Club was founded in 2008, however the Corvette has a long history. Lets take a quick look at some of the history of the Corvette
1953. The first full-scale Corvette concept was displayed as a “dream car” at GM’s Motorama in New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel in January.
1953. On June 30, the first production Corvette rolled off of the assembly line in Flint, Michigan.
1953. Production of the 1954 Corvette began in St. Louis, MO in December of 1953.
1955. The small-block V8 displacing 265 cubic inches was introduced. Also, a three-speed manual transmission was available.
1956. The restyled Corvette features exposed headlamps, sculpted side coves and rolled up windows. Factory-installed removable hardtops are offered for the first time.
1968. The totally restyled Corvette features an industry first for production cars – “T-top” removable roof panels. Lines of the new Corvette closely resemble those of the Mako Shark II show car. Headlamps are now of the “pop-up” design, backlit.
1969. The 250,000th Corvette – a gold Convertible – comes off the St. Louis production line on November 19. “Stingray” script is added above the fender louvers.
1969. The ZR-1 optional factory-installed racing package is offered on Corvette for the first time.
1970. The new LT1 Small Block V8 engine option with solid lifters is introduced and rated at 370 HP.
2001. The Z06 is introduced with a 385 HP LS6 V8 and a top speed of over 170 MPH. New front fascia grilles improve airflow to the engine air inlet.
2002. Z06 performance reaches another plateau with the infusion of another 20 HP – for 405 – and 14 lb. ft. of more torque – for a total of 400.
2003. 50th Anniversary of the Corvette is marked by the availability of a 50th Anniversary package with special red paint, a unique two-tone shale interior, special emblems and Magnetic Selective Ride.
2019. This would be the final year of production for the seventh generation Corvette and it went out on a high note, with the highest performance Corvette produced to date. The new ZR1 optioned Corvette produced 755 horsepower and went 0-60 mph in under three seconds.
2020. The ‘next generation’ Corvette debuts in Tustin, California on July 18, 2019 and is the brand’s first-ever production mid-engine Corvette. The car features the fastest 0-60 time of any entry Corvette ever — under three seconds when equipped with Z51 Performance Package.
