Attention-grabbing automobiles will be rolling into Beach Haven Sunday, June 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., for the Beach Bums Corvette Club’s 11th annual Corvette Show at Bay Village and Schooner’s Wharf. A rain date is set for June 14.

The nonprofit group was established in 2001 for the purpose of furthering the interest in the study and preservation of the Corvette automobile, and to establish fraternal relationships among owners and enthusiasts of the Corvette sports car.
Proceeds from the club’s annual event benefit local charities.
The show usually includes about 150 Chevrolet Corvettes, said club President Ken Egerer.
“It is always exciting to see so many beautiful Corvettes of all model years whose owners obviously take great pride in maintaining them in pristine condition,” he stated. “The Corvette is the only vehicle manufactured and assembled nowhere in the world but the good old USA.
“The Beach Bums Club members put in a great deal of time and effort to put the show together. But it is a feel-good day knowing how much Corvette enthusiasts enjoy the show, and that we can help local charities as well as give a little boost to local businesses,” he added.
Registration for those entering the competition will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 11 a.m. The cost is $20 in advance, or $25 the day of the show. Pre-registration is recommended due to limited space. Spectators are admitted free of charge.
Trophy presentations begin at 3 p.m. First-, second- and third-place trophies will be awarded in three categories: street stock, modified and custom.
Street stock is genuine factory appearance; reproduction and replacement parts are allowed if the period is correct.
Modified is defined as cars with mild changes to the body and interior. Examples include chrome, custom wheels, paint (non-stock color), pinstripes and more.
Custom is Corvettes with radical changes to body, engine, interior and paint. Examples include roll bars, body panels, fender flares, paint graphics, custom interiors and custom paint schemes.
There are also awards for “Best in Show,” “Mayor’s Choice” and the “Beach Haven Police Department’s Choice.”
A 50/50 raffle will also be held to benefit the Long Beach Island Historical Association’s Fisherman’s Cottage.
