The 2016 Corvettes for Vets was held recently at McNair Field. The event served as a fundraiser for Purple Heart Homes. This year 178 Corvettes were registered and $7,600 was raised for Purple Heart Homes. A blood drive was held with 117 units of blood collected. Vendors lined the perimeter of the show, which also included music and food. Miss "Cora" Vette modeled an original jacket inside a 1971 Corvette Coupe, which was the first year that Corvettes were designed to operate on unleaded fuel. The fifth anniversary Corvettes for Vets is scheduled for May 13, 2017.
