More Than 400 Corvettes Roll Into Ocean City on Sunday

One of the largest Corvette shows in the country returns to Ocean City on Sunday.

More than 400 of the popular cars will be displayed on the Boardwalk starting at 11:30 a.m. The autos will date back to the Corvette’s first model in 1953 and extend to the present.

Corvette owners from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey will park on the Boardwalk along with scattered entries from as far away as Ohio, Indiana and Florida. The event is held rain or shine.

Registration is from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the Ocean City Municipal Airport, 26^th Street and Bay Avenue. The Ocean City Humane Society and Food Cupboard will be accepting donations at that location.

Cars depart for the Boardwalk at approximately 11 a.m. and park there until 4 p.m. The line of Corvettes extends from 7^th to 12^th streets and beyond on the Boardwalk.

There also will be a special wedding-themed display in front of the Ocean City Music Pier, Boardwalk and Moorlyn Terrace, featuring Corvettes. The Corvette Club will be headquartered at that location and offer T-shirts for sale.

The Ocean City Humane Society will have a display in front of the Music Pier. Volunteers will be selling items and collecting donations to support the award-winning “no kill” shelter. All animals brought to the shelter are either placed in a home with new owners or given one at the Humane Society.

There will be an awards ceremony in front of the Music Pier at 3:30 p.m. Proceeds from registration fees benefit local charities. The show is sponsored by the Boardwalk Corvettes. For information, call the club’s hotline at 609-457-0081 or visit www.boardwalkcorvettes.com.
