finding my vintage 1963 Corvette," said Zirbser. "The day I purchased it I brought the car with me to Degenhardts and parked it nearthe entrance to the dance. Whenever I see either Lou or Billy they call me Corvette Skip. I still have that car, and brought it with me tonight. This particular corvette was built in June 1963, 50 years ago today. I can’t believe how fast the time has gone by. One thing that always brings a smile to my face is my memories of my wife and I dancing at Degenhardts,” he said.
