“Disclaimer”
Our products are provided by a Vendor (third party) that is not affiliated with the Open Roads Corvette Club of Southern Illinois, and the Club does not profit from any orders placed. No Club funds were used to make these products. The products displayed here are intended to encourage and assist owners of Corvettes in joining our Club, and to make these products available to our members if they wish, but ordering is not mandatory.
The order link is coming, might take up to a week. I had to change vendors, but I like this one much better. If you can’t wait, call Wit & Wisdom in Marion, IL, confirm you are with the club, and make an order. This store can do all colors and customizations, like names, and much more. Sorry for the delay as I gave the last vendor as much time as I could, but it was probably too long. Please, members, support this business as it’s local, and I called last week, and they had these ready in just a couple of days.
