FCOs first car show
was in August 1977 and has been an annual event ever since. The show draws
the finest Corvettes in New England with more than 200 Corvettes in our
last show.
General public attendance
has been averaging over 1000 persons. The location of FCOs Annual Show
& Shine is Olde Mistick Village, Mystic, CT.
FCO uses most of the
proceeds from its annual car show and other functions to aide local charitable
organzations.
FCO has many functions
throughout the year, including Rallies in the Spring and Fall, and caravans
to other Corvette events in the New England area. In addition to frequent
dining nights, we take an Auto Show trip to New York.
FCO sponsors a monthly
mystery cruise night the first Wednesday of the month, from May through
October. We also have social functions such as picnics and our annual
Christmas Party.
FCO usually meets
at 7:30 pm on the 1st Tuesday of each month. The meetings are held at
Bob Valenti Chevrolet in Mystic, CT.
FCO membership is
quite varied and family oriented. Most of our membership is native to
Southeastern Connecticut. We share a common interest in Corvettes, and
the members' interest levels range from the backyard mechanic to the all-out
restorer, as well as the concourse show regulars and those who just enjoy
cruising.
FCO is one of the
few Corvette clubs where both husband and wife can be full-fledged members
even though they only have one Corvette. We also hope that you contribute
to FCO by bringing in new ideas and keeping the club a dynamic and interesting
organization.
FCO is always seeking
new members, as we want to help you better understand and enjoy your Corvette.
