Welcome to Vettes Of Coastal Maine
Vettes
Of Coastal Maine was organized in 1977 by Corvette enthusiasts for
Corvette enthusiasts. We are founding members of the New England
Corvette Council and actively participate with neighboring clubs in
Corvette activities throughout New England and with our Canadian
friends in the Maritime Provinces.
Membership continues
to grow and now stretches from the mid and south coast through the
Kennebec Valley and into Downeast Maine. All are welcome and our mix of
singles and couples, twenty something’s and retired brings diversity
and a full range of interests to all activities. We are primarily a
social organization, friends enjoying the company of other Corvette
enthusiasts. Naturally, we talk Corvettes a lot, and the mutual
interest provides a network for technical help, information on where to
find what you might need, sharing of resources and great car stories.
Our
cruising season begins early. A highlight of the cruising season is our
annual long weekend gathering of nearly 100 Corvettes of all
generations from Maine, neighboring states and provinces in beautiful
Bar Harbor in early June. The event features a Corvette display,
cruising the roads of Acadia National Park, visiting nearby villages
and of course eating, shopping and socializing. Bar Harbor also serves
as our major fund raising event for our charitable gift giving. Since
the club’s inception, thousands of dollars have been donated by the
club to charities throughout Maine. Like all Corvette
enthusiasts we like to travel together enjoying each others company on
long runs to "Corvettes at Carlisle" or on short trips to the nearest
cruise night. Summers are short but we take full advantage of every
spectacular day. Our winter activities include potluck suppers rotating
among different members’ homes (very popular!), restaurant
get-togethers sleigh rides, snow tubing, bowling, museum visits,
whatever makes the days pass until we can cruise again.
We're glad you could cruise on by the home of Vettes Of Coastal Maine. We hope you will join us soon. Save the Wave! |

Updated date on OOB Car Show:
Old Orchard Beach Car Show & Parade - 15th Annual
The 15th Annual Old Orchard Beach Car Show and Parade will take place September 12 – 13th with hundreds of truly distinctive and classic antique cars and trucks on display. The weekend kicks of Friday night with numerous superbly restored and maintained classic cars and trucks on display. Old Orchard Street is closed to traffic to make way for this vintage car display. Participating cars and trucks then form the now famous Car Show Parade. This is a unique opportunity to view these vintage vehicles "cruising" East and West Grand Avenue, creating a scene reminiscent of decades gone by.
The actual Car Show Exhibit, the 15th Annual Old Orchard Beach Car Show will take place from 8am to 3:00pm on Saturday. Car Show registration will be from 8am to Noon with final balloting by 1pm. All cars registered for the show receive a commemorative Car Show dash plaque. Car Show winners are to be announced at approximately 2:30pm and trophies for all categories will be awarded at that time. Following the winners presentations, there is a Grand Finale Car Parade along East and West Grand Avenues to wrap up this weekend of fun.

Carlisle
Posted by webmaster on Monday, August 25 @ 19:29:17 EDT (17 reads)
DEBBIE writes "We had a good turnout at Carlisle and it seemed everyone was enjoying themselves and the weather. It was much more comfortable than some other years. We enjoyed seeing one of our past presidents, Alan Anthony with his wife Bobbye and two couples that joined them from Florida. Other Vette owners from Pa. were also at our Inn. Everyone had their own agenda and schedules and seemed to accomplish what they came to do! It was great to have everyone from Maine there. The show was great although some of the major vendors were not at the fairgrounds this year. Red, white and blue Corvettes made up the flag for photo opportunites. Hope you all found everything on your parts lists and had a pleasant drive back. "

Havest of Vettes Cancelled
Posted by webmaster on Monday, August 18 @ 21:14:16 EDT (25 reads)
Debbie writes "Hello Everyone, As many of you are aware, this has been a very tough Corvette season. We've all been battling a bad economy, extremely high gas prices, and terrible weather. Most clubs that have had their shows this year have experienced low or lower attendance than prior years. Enthusiasts are scrutinizing how and where they spend their Corvette dollars; picking and choosing one or two events to participate in. With that said, Spindle City Corvette Club has discussed our options and voted to cancel our Harvest of Vettes show scheduled for Sunday, September 14th. Thanks to those of you that have offered your services to help run the show. The club itself is going through a reorganization and rebuilding phase right now and will be focusing our attention on smaller events over the coming months and working on expansion of our membership base. We hope you all understand and stick with us over the coming months as we move forward. Save the wave! Thank you, Martin Shipon, President Spindle City Corvette Club Michael Carielli, Vice President Spindle City Corvette Club Rodger Christiansen, Treasurer Spindle City Corvette Club Mike D'Arezzo, Secretary Spindle City Corvette Club "

Club meeting
Posted by webmaster on Friday, July 11 @ 11:39:27 EDT (111 reads)
debbie writes "It was hot hot hot in Owls Head on Sunday and a huge turnout on the old airstrip. The club parked on the grass and held our meeting. We got the report from JJ on the Bar Harbor financials, and voted to have another event next spring. Get out your beach gear, straw hats and sunglasses as we will host a hot, hot, hot Margaritaville or Marga & Rita Ville in Bar Harbor. That should be a theme that everyone can handle with not much preparation. Keep a lookout for those hibiscus flowered shirts and cut off jeans. We know there are a few guitar players amongst you. Don?? Bret?? Al K.?? ( Maybe we can extend an invite to Jimmy B. to the buffet. ) It will be five o'clock somewhere.....probably in Bar Harbor.
