2018 Mike Miller Antique Collection Tour

The 2018 season beings in spite of the cold weather with our annual visit to Mike Miller’s Antique Collection in Centersville, PA.

This year we had (16) club members plus Deb’s brother Bernie and my grandson Dylan.  We didn’t bring our cars of course, not because of the cold but more due the the rough roads getting back to where Mike’s buildings are that houses his collection.  Marg, Gary and Bob Whitesides left before we took the picture..

Mike and his family including his daughter Michelle were great again hosting us and we especially enjoyed seeing Mike’s grandkids and seeing how much they have grown.  They all seemly are following in Mike’s passion for collecting, steam-engines, cars and machinery of all types!…

The visit wouldn’t be complete without spending time with their dog Pixie who absolutely “loves” to be pet and followed us around looking for attention!

If anyone would like to showcase your Corvette, especially C1’s through C5’s.  All Generations are welcome to submit their information to Dave Oreski (412) 427-3375  [email protected] or Perry Minnis (412) 420-7290  [email protected] for consideration.  Read on for more details on how to participate. 

The Exhibit will be sponsored by Colussy Chevrolet, who is the sponsor of Steel Town Corvette Club.  2018 is also Colussy Chevrolet’s 100th anniversary as a dealership. If you would like to display your Corvette send Dave Oreski [email protected] your name, year, color and type of Corvette (jpg pics would be extremely helpful also), and your contact information – phone and email ASAP.

We need to collect all the information requested for your Corvette to be considered.  A committee from Steel Town Corvette Club will review the Corvettes submitted and make selections for the Exhibit.  We would like to have at least two Corvettes (coupe and convertible) from each generation, C-1 thru C-7, as well as anniversary, pace car, and special editions.
