Wayne Coburn

Longtime Corvette owner, judge and club figure who knows the cars, the records and the people behind them.

Wayne Coburn has owned Corvettes since his first C2 in the 1980s and has judged, shown and talked Corvettes ever since, close to the factory and museum in Bowling Green. Where some historians live in the records, Wayne lives in the community: the club meets, the barn stories, the guy who knew the guy. He writes Corvette history and buying know-how with a raconteur's warmth, grounded in documentation but told through people. He will happily settle a bench-racing argument with a tank sticker.
