Students Rebuild Classic 1967 Corvette Convertible at Capital Region BOCES COLONIE, N.Y.
Students from the Capital Region BOCES automotive trades technology program are hard at work restoring a legendary 1967 Corvette convertible. Initially brought in for minor repairs, the project has evolved significantly over the past four years under the care of these dedicated students.
Rising senior Joe Berube from Cobleskill-Richmondville High School, who aspires to be an automotive engineer, shared his enthusiasm: “It’s a good experience. Hopefully, it will be done by the time we complete our senior year.”
Nolan DiLorenzo, a rising senior from Shenendehowa, echoed his sentiments: “I like old cars and I enjoy the work I am getting to do on this. It allows us to see how the technology was and how it has advanced.”
The students aim to complete the project by the end of their senior year, showcasing their skills and dedication to automotive craftsmanship.

Bill Hatch’s 1957
We are wishing Bill a happy 92nd birthday. Bill has owned the above 1957 since he bought it on August 12th 1957!
Bill wanted a new car and had his mind set on the (now) classic 1957 Chevy BelAir. The salesman informed Bill that Chevrolet offered a sports car. Bill saw three Corvettes on the lot and chose the black car with the red interior. It was “basic” — three speed manual transmission, the base 230 HP 283 CU IN engine, and removable hardtop. Bill purchased the Corvette for the total price of $3,430.72.
The Corvette has been an integral part of Bill’s life ever since. Bill used the car as his daily transportation commuting to work on weekdays and visiting the beaches of the greater Los Angeles area on weekends to join his friends in beach volleyball pickup games. Bill was still driving the Corvette as his only car when he met his future wife, Marylyn, and took her for her first Corvette ride on her first date in 1961. Romance blossomed into true love, and ultimately marriage. Bill and Marylyn left for their honeymoon in 1962 in the Corvette. Marriage led to a family (two daughters) which frequently leads to the concern for practicality. Bill gave consideration to selling his cherished sports car but each time he discussed it with Marylyn she would talk him into keeping their first date car.
At 92 years old, Bill still enjoys driving his survivor weekly, and on short trips with his local Corvette Club – North Coast Corvettes. Bill probably holds the record for the longest running ownership of an original purchaser of a new Corvette.
