A few of the 475 Corvettes that participated in the Ocean City, NJ Corvette Show in 2014 drive onto the Boardwalk for the annual event.
More than 450 Corvettes will be displayed on the Boardwalk between Sixth Street and 14th Street on Sunday, Sept. 20, starting at 11:30 a.m.
The cars will date back to the Corvette’s first model in 1953 and include every model to the present.
The show is one of the largest in the East with Corvette owners from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey, plus scattered entries from as far away as Ohio, Indiana and Florida. The show is held rain or shine.
The cars will gather at the Ocean City Airport, 26th Street and Bay Avenue, between 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. The Ocean City Humane Society and Food Cupboard will be accepting donations at that location. Cars will depart for the Boardwalk at 11 a.m. and be on display until 4 p.m.
There will be a special themed Corvette display in front of the Music Pier, Boardwalk and Moorlyn Terrace. The Corvette Club will be headquartered at that location and offer T-shirts for sale. The Ocean City Humane Society will also have a display and be selling items and collecting donations to support the award-winning “no kill” shelter. All animals are either found a home or given one at the Humane Society.
There will be an awards ceremony at 3:30 p.m. in front of the Music Pier. Proceeds from registration fees benefit local charities. The show is sponsored by Boardwalk Corvettes. For information, call the Club’s hotline, 609-457-0081 or visit
