Scroll down to #25, GM Parade of Progress 1955 even if you're not
interested in all the 1950' & 60's photos. I had no idea they made so many!

Picture #25 says Terre Haute, Indiana while the signs on all of the light poles say Iowa Fair. ???????

Yes, it was an interesting period for GM. I wrote an article in our newsletter about the Parade of Progress from its initial start. Check out pp 8-12 here: http://www.corvetteclubsantabarbara.com/wp-content/uploads/newsletters/2016/CCSB_2016_09_SEP_newsletter.pdf Successive monthly newsletters include the role that Harley Earl had on GM and other GM historical articles.

Great article, Ed. And in a very nice publication from an obviously very
active club.

Unfortunately like many clubs with aging members, it's getting very difficult drawing in and retaining younger members to carry the club forward. We had a discussion of this wrinkle with the Ventura Corvette Club president at the National Corvette Museum 25th year Anniversary with the introduction of the Mid-engine Corvette (C8). No one has managed to figure it out and many of us wonder where our club will end up in 5 years.

Anyway, I have written many GM History articles for the club newsletter over the past 4 years. I am the website administrator and newsletter editor/publisher for our club. Feel free to navigate the "Archived" newsletters on our website located here: http://corvetteclubsantabarbara.com.

Ed,

I'm positive that our GMCMI members would love to see that article about
the Parade of Progress. Please offer it to Kim Weeks to go into our
magazine.

I will be reading more of your articles.

The younger ones are not aware of the existence of organization and if they
did, they are last to join so we can groom them to take part.
