VCCA Home Forums GENERAL DISCUSSION General Discussions Costumes for the cars. Special for Chevroladies

I am deeply honoured:

This thread has reached 6000 visits from April 2007. I other words 136 visitors have clicked on that stuff each month (for 44 months) to search for possible tips to costumes.

I really hope the costume competition in Flint will show up to be with numerous members and with lots of quality and fun. Also hoping many more (than before) will wear the right clothing from now on, and not ONLY in Flint!

I will upgrade some of the thread before end of this year.

Thanks for all your visits!

I did not manage to update until end of this year. Sorry! But here are some few links from other parts of the world, showing different costumes and periods of fashion/style:
