PRINCETON, N.J., April 30, 2018 (CNBNewsnet)– Corvettes dating back to 1953 will draw crowds again at the annual 2018 Judged Corvette Show sponsored by the Spirits of ’53 Corvette Club on Sunday, May 20 at the Princeton Forrestal Village Complex from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The annual event is free to attendees and proceeds will benefit The Ronald McDonald House of Central and Northern New Jersey.
“Our Annual Corvette Show gives the club an opportunity to do something for children,” said John Bieglecki, president of the Spirits of ’53 Corvette Club. “It’s a fun, annual tradition and we are looking forward to sharing our love of Corvettes with the community and helping kids.”

About Spirits of ’53 Corvette Club
The Spirits of ’53 Corvette Club began in 1953 when three Corvette owners met and developed a bond at a Sunoco Station where they bought gas. They determined the need for a new club of Corvette owners and actively recruited other owners by leaving leaflets on car windshields.
Today, the club is primarily a social organization whose members participate in a variety of social activities including cruise nights, rallies, races, picnics, holiday parties, Broadway shows, casino trips and softball games against other clubs. The club website is www.spiritsof53.net.
