From May 1974 through at least March 1980, the Central Kansas Corvette Association published and distributed a monthly (occasionally bimonthly) printed newsletter entitled VETTER NEWS; see HERE.
Beginning with the October 1974 issue, editor Sandra Hawk and co-editor (and CKCA president) Darrell Hawk introduced a new, semi-regular centerfold feature in the newsletter which, in time, became known as "Car Of The Month."
At least 21 issues of the newsletter featured CKCA member Corvettes, initially two cars per issue, which then later morphed into a single Corvette being featured beginning in June 1976. All 21 of these features are linked in the thumbnails below.
