Well, folks, another year, another absolute triumph for the Classic Glass Corvette Club of Marietta!

If you weren’t out at the Hudson Grille in Kennesaw for the 2025 VetteStock show, you truly missed out on a perfect slice of Corvette heaven.

The air was crisp, the Georgia sky was a brilliant blue, and the parking lot was simply overflowing with America’s Sports Car, from pristine C1 roadsters all the way up to the latest fire-breathing C8s and E-Rays.

This isn’t just your average Sunday car show; this is a full-throttle celebration, and every single roar of an engine and gleam of chrome was dedicated to a fantastic cause.

As you know, this annual bash is the centerpiece of the club’s incredible effort to support the National Corvette Museum (NCM), and the energy on display proved that the passion is only getting stronger.

Attendees were all over the place, casting their votes for the best of each generation, checking out the vendor tents like USA Reflections Auto Spa and Marshall’s, and just soaking up the unbeatable camaraderie.

Classic Glass really knocked it out of the park again, delivering a memorable day that perfectly blended automotive passion with charitable purpose!

Steven Cassaniti on VetteStock: Vendors, Attendance, & Future Plans

Rod Worley – Editor – Steven, congratulations on another successful VetteStock event! Can you share your thoughts on this year’s event?

Steven Cassaniti – Classic Glass Corvette Club Show Manager – Thanks Rod, and thanks as always for your support.

Not that I’ve been doing this very long– but after a show, I attempt to solicit feedback from our members, the businesses that support our shows, and car enthusiasts on what improvements they would like to see us make.

I won’t list them all, but one was to have more vendors participate showing-off their products and services. We did that this year at VetteStock though we are somewhat constrained by space.

Thanks to our valued Partners: Zeal Automotive, USA Reflections Auto Spa, and Marshall’s Handyman Service. Thanks to Guardian Garage Floors, AMSOIL, the NCM Store, Hudson Grille, and to Forgotten Paws Dog Rescue for joining in the festivities.

Without their presence and financial support (from most)– it would be challenging to put on these shows. And speaking of “festivities”– another comment was to make the area where we set-up the businesses more fun, more of a central attraction for people to want to visit– and I think we did that too this year.

With vendors on both sides with their bright colored canopies, it almost had a “carnival midway” feeling. I was pleased. Yes, you are correct, we did beat our number from last year which is always a good sign. We had 116 beautiful Corvettes register for VetteStock.

The parking lot and midway area sure looked filled to me! Seriously, I just appreciate everyone coming and the strong support from our vendors. Every year there is
more and more car show competition so we recognize people have choices what to do and where to go on a Saturday.

We’re just glad they chose to spend the day with us.

A Partnership in Motion: NCM and VetteStock Drive Corvette Passion

The National Corvette Museum’s dedicated tent was a hub of activity, with two official members serving as effective ambassadors.

They weren’t just attending; they were actively engaging attendees, dispensing vital information about the Bowling Green, Kentucky, facility and its profound role as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Corvette legacy.

Enthusiasts—including those who haven’t yet made the pilgrimage to the Skydome, the Sinkhole Exhibit, or the NCM Motorsports Park—had the opportunity to learn about the Museum’s vast 115,000-square-foot collection of over 80 historic cars, its educational STEAM initiatives, and the unique R8C Museum Delivery experience.

More than just an informational outpost, the tent was a vital fundraising conduit. Attendees eagerly purchased NCM-branded hats, shirts, and gifts, with every sale directly supporting the Museum’s operations and its commitment to automotive history.

The very organization of VetteStock as an all-Corvette show and major fundraiser for the NCM perfectly mirrors the Museum’s “Museum in Motion” strategy—extending its reach beyond Bowling Green to engage and strengthen the community of enthusiasts who sustain it.

This vibrant partnership with Classic Glass not only raises awareness and crucial funds but also ensures that the Corvette’s story continues to inspire the next generation of owners, designers, and engineers.

Shining Stars: USA Reflections Auto Spa’s Commitment to the Corvette Scene

You can’t talk about a premier Corvette event in the Atlanta area without mentioning USA Reflections Auto Spa.

We were thrilled, once again, to see Brian Marusa and his team as long-time vendor sponsors at VetteStock this year—they’re truly fixtures, not just here, but at SuperVette Saturday, too.

Brian’s Alpharetta-based operation specializes in making our fiberglass masterpieces look absolutely flawless, and their reputation among high-end vehicle owners is second to none.

Whether you need a full Paint Correction to wipe out years of swirl marks or are looking for the ultimate invisible defense with Paint Protection Film (PPF) or a professional-grade Ceramic Coating, these are the guys you trust.

As Brian told us in a previous issue, he got into the business after being frustrated with the dealership trying to charge a fortune for a flimsy coating, which inspired him to provide quality, affordable, long-lasting protection.

Their meticulous work not only gives you that stunning, showroom shine but, as a certified CARFAX center, it actually helps preserve your car’s resale value—a smart move for any ‘Vette owner.

Seeing their continuous support for the Classic Glass Corvette Club and events like VetteStock proves that they don’t just detail the cars; they truly value the community behind the wheel.

VetteStock’s Heart: Forgotten Paws Brings Purpose to the Pavement

While the VetteStock event, hosted by the Classic Glass Corvette Club of Atlanta, is a high-octane celebration of America’s Sports Car, this year’s show was graced with a tender presence that brought immense heart to the asphalt: Forgotten Paws Dog Rescue.

The sight of pristine Stingrays and Z06s sharing the spotlight with a collection of adorable, adoptable dogs was a welcome reminder that the Corvette community’s passion extends far beyond fiberglass and horsepower.

The Forgotten Paws tent, staffed by passionate volunteers from the Atlanta-area 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was a magnet for enthusiasts.

This organization, which began with a lifetime commitment to a few overlooked dogs like one-eyed Toby, operates under the philosophy that every mixed-breed dog deserves the same focused, high-quality placement process as a purebred.

Their adoption model is strict, requiring thorough home visits and building long-term relationships with adopters, prioritizing quality placements over high-volume rescues.

Bringing their mission to VetteStock served two powerful purposes.

First, it injected an incredible energy and warmth into the show, offering attendees a chance to meet potential furry family members. Second, it provided a vital platform for awareness and fundraising for their rescue, which is now transitioning to focus on providing intensive care for senior dogs.

From promoting their need for volunteers—whether for walking overweight dogs, cleaning, or clerical work—to simply sharing their story, Forgotten Paws effectively showed the Corvette community that a love for speed can easily coexist with a commitment to saving lives.

It was an inspiring display of community spirit.

Local Love, Big Support: Marshall’s Handyman Service Fuels VetteStock Fun

Let’s give a big shout-out to Marshall’s Handyman Service, one of the fantastic sponsors that helped make this year’s VetteStock event a huge success!

For those who’ve followed our pages, you’ll know the name Scott Marshall is synonymous with passion for our beloved ‘Vettes.

We featured Scott and his wife, Aileen, when they launched their new venture, Marshall’s Automotive and Performance, a dedicated shop in Cartersville that is a true game-changer for Atlanta enthusiasts.

Scott, who’s been a trusted name in the area for years with his Handyman Service, has taken his extensive experience maintaining his own fleet and personal, track-proven Corvettes and poured it into this new business, complete with a state-of-the-art Dynojet dynamometer.

Seeing Marshall’s Handyman Service step up to sponsor the Classic Glass Corvette Club’s major fundraiser for the National Corvette Museum just reinforces what we already know: they are deeply committed to the Corvette community.

Not only did their sponsorship help the NCM’s mission to preserve our car’s incredible history, but they even got hands-on, presenting a well-deserved vendor award to one lucky Corvette owner.

It’s awesome when a local business, built on a foundation of reliability, shows this kind of support for our passion. Big thanks to Scott and the Marshall’s team!

VetteStock 2025: More Than a Show, It’s a Corvette Family Triumph!

What truly sets VetteStock apart is that amazing community feel you just can’t replicate anywhere else. It wasn’t just the record-breaking turnout of cars—the largest we’ve seen in years—it was the energy!

You could feel the positive, upbeat atmosphere throughout the entire Hudson Grille lot as owners and admirers mingled, made new friends, and shared their passion.

Having the Top 10 decided by People’s Choice kept everyone engaged, while the special judges made sure the NCM Founder’s Award and the Best in Show (huge congrats to Charles Gunn for his Zeus Bronze Coupe!) went to truly deserving, high-quality Corvettes.

Plus, having the entire event right there at the Hudson Grille made lunch effortless, with great food and friendly service—a huge win.

As we pack up and head out, we’re left with a powerful reminder that the Classic Glass Corvette Club doesn’t just put on a show; they build a family.

They deliver on their promise to celebrate America’s Sports Car while making a significant, tangible contribution to the National Corvette Museum and even lending a hand to Forgotten Paws.

If you love Corvettes, community, and having a genuinely great day, you absolutely need to block out your calendar for VetteStock 2026!
