Grey skies and steady rain couldn’t keep car enthusiasts away from the Ocean City boardwalk on Sunday as the city hosted its annual Boardwalk Corvette Show.

More than 300 cars were registered this year, representing models from the 1950s to today. Despite the forecast, Corvette owners lined up their vehicles along the boardwalk between 5th and 14th streets, while spectators carrying umbrellas admired the display and talked with fellow collectors.

The annual show is presented by Boardwalk Corvettes of Atlantic City and is considered one of the largest gatherings of its kind in the region. While the rain may have dampened the turnout among casual visitors, many longtime participants said the tradition of showcasing Corvettes by the beach was worth braving the conditions.

Awards were presented in multiple categories, ranging from best vintage, modern, and custom design. Organizers expressed their gratefulness for the amazing turnout and participation given Sunday’s weather.

The annual Boardwalk Corvette Show is one of the many highlights in Ocean City during the fall season. No matter the forecast, this event continued a long-time legacy of celebrating one of America’s most iconic sports cars.
