The club was originally founded in the fall of 2001 under the name of Long Island Classic Corvettes. The first informal meeting was held in the parking lot of the Oak Beach Inn (now long gone). The meeting wasn’t planned – it just happened when a small group of owners of older Corvettes started talking.
Originally limited to owners of Corvettes 1982 and earlier, a vote of the members at a later meeting decided we would open the membership up to all Corvette owners. The principal founding members were Richard Shields, Anthony Zabrocki, Warren Schetzen, Kim Rada, Drew Moore, Jill Bartollota, Edward Eksi, among others.
