Long Way Home (A Corvette’s Journey)
Content provided by MCC Member Bob Jackman
As many of you who know me already are aware, I love all kinds of cars and always have.
Evidence of this can be found in the big cars I own or have owned in the past as well as my
collection of 5300 plus models. I preface this short story by saying this lest one would think
that my only focus is on Corvettes alone.
My ownership of my 1961 Corvette began in 1972 when I painted it for a friend. This friend
and I were both Modal A Ford fans and used to work on them together. One day he and his
wife went to a car show where she saw the Corvette and wanted it badly so they bought it
although my friend really wasn't into other cars other than the Model As. Long story short,
after I painted the car for him, and knowing he didn't particularly care for the car, I asked
him if he would sell me the car...after checking with his wife, the answer was no. About six
months later my friend took a job some 1,000 miles away and again I asked if he would sell it
to me before they moved and again the answer was no. As with many things in life, he called
me about thirty days after they moved and said that his wife had decided that it was okay for
him to sell the car. Bottom line...I had to pay to have the car shipped back the 1,000 miles
when it had lived some three miles from us to begin with.
Looking back I guess it was predestined for Lori and I to own a Corvette. Growing up, one of
my best friend's father was the personnel director of the Corvette plant in St. Louis which is
where I am from. My friend and I were in the plant at least once a month watching America's
number one sports cars being built from 1954, the first year production started in St. Louis
until the early sixties when my friend's father retired. Back then the survival of the Corvette
was questioned by the bean counters at GM each year. In 1960, the Corvette achieved sales
in excess of 10,000 units for the first time, and which was the benchmark used to determine
the make's future. Today it would be hard to imagine the automotive picture without the
Corvette but it came very close to not happening. Sometime when you get the chance to see
an original older Corvette it's important to know that these old Vettes were virtually hand
built without the aid of computers and robots.

Dear MCC Members and Sponsors,
I what to thank you all for the love you have shown and given to Tom's memory and to my
family. Tom was a multi-complex man and that is what made him so memorable and special
to so many people. He had drive and ambition that showed in everything he did. He fretted,
stressed, and worried about everything and was always proud of everyone's efforts and
achievements at the end of the day. He loved the Mississippi Classic Cruisers. We made
many friends and many memories over the last several years and considered the club a part
of our extended family. I will always be so grateful to you all. Your time, energy and giving
of your hearts for Tom is the most overwhelming outreach I have ever experienced. He was
my soul mate and I feel so blessed to have had him in my life. There will never be another
Tom Phillips. He is missed.
I'm not very good at writing my thoughts and this may seem like rambling but my sincere
intent is to let you know how much I love you all and say thank you again for being there for
me and the girls.
Love,
Cindy
