Sometimes it all starts with something as simple as building plastic car model kits at the kitchen table after school. Drawing inspiration from particular automotive styles that spark a magneto buried deep inside your mind actually helps pave a high-performance path for you to follow. For David Gonce of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, his passion for Corvettes started with assembling an endless stream of model kits while also reading through any print material he could get his hands on to gain more knowledge on the cars and their history. The best part was being able to watch the real thing cruise through town whenever he got the chance.

There’s nothing better than growing up in an automotive family where your parents share the same level of excitement for Corvettes as you do. Imagine how awestruck David was when his dad brought home a pristine, dark-blue 1979 Corvette with a white interior in 1996. Not long after the purchase, his mother surprised his dad with the gift of a complete interior package in black to give it an even racier look. As the years passed, the family would enjoy plenty of time together putting down the miles from their homes in Kentucky and, later on, in Maryland.
