Crazy for Corvettes Slideshow

Ron and Linda Cleland of Hutchinson love Corvettes and having a good time. They are organizing Hutchinson’s first-ever Corvettes for a Cure rally this weekend, May 30 through June 1. All proceeds from the event will benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation and American Cancer Society.

These photos are from a special shoot at the McLeod County Fairgrounds organized with some help from the Clelands last month. I had a blast photographing this fleet of Corvettes, which includes a representative from each of the model’s six generations.

The cars and their owners are: 1960 Corvette convertible, Larry Husfeldt; 1964 Corvette Sting Ray convertible, Gilbert Dick; 1980 Corvette coupe, Jon Wilke; 1992 Corvette coupe, Kathy Winter; 2001 Corvette convertible, Paul Betker; 2007 Corvette convertible, Ron and Linda Cleland; 2007 Corvette Z06, Craig Ziegler.
