CLUB INFO
Club History
Vettes Of Coastal Maine was organized in 1977 by Corvette enthusiasts for Corvette enthusiasts. We are founding members of the New England Corvette Council and actively participate with neighboring clubs in Corvette activities throughout New England and with our Canadian friends in the Maritime Provinces.
Membership continues to grow and now stretches from the mid and south coast through the Kennebec Valley and into Downeast Maine. All are welcome and our mix of singles and couples, twenty something’s and retired brings diversity and a full range of interests to all activities. We are primarily a social organization, friends enjoying the company of other Corvette enthusiasts. Naturally, we talk Corvettes a lot, and the mutual interest provides a network for technical help, information on where to find what you might need, sharing of resources and great car stories.
Our cruising season begins early. A highlight of the cruising season is our annual long weekend gathering of nearly 100 Corvettes of all generations from Maine, neighboring states and provinces in beautiful Bar Harbor in early June. The event features a Corvette display, cruising the roads of Acadia National Park, visiting nearby villages and of course eating, shopping and socializing. Bar Harbor also serves as our major fund raising event for our charitable gift giving. Since the club’s inception, thousands of dollars have been donated by the club to charities throughout Maine.
Like all Corvette enthusiasts we like to travel together enjoying each others company on long runs to "Corvettes at Carlisle" or on short trips to the nearest cruise night. Summers are short but we take full advantage of every spectacular day. Our winter activities include potluck suppers rotating among different members’ homes (very popular!), restaurant get-togethers sleigh rides, snow tubing, bowling, museum visits, whatever makes the days pass until we can cruise again.
We're glad you could cruise on by the home of Vettes Of Coastal Maine. We hope you will join us soon.
