ZR-1 Calander?

[1990 quasar blue]

I'm not sure how feasible this is but, is anybody interested in making a calendar? I was thinking that we could send in some pix with a little info about the car, and have one made up. It's just a thought, and I don't have any idea how much something like that would cost. Any interest or suggestions?

I am interested. I think it is a great idea. I have a client who made a calendar of his art work (low volume production, but very nice quality). I will try to find out where he got it made, after I get back from vacation.

We've made a calendar of our Corvette club members' cars...12 one for each month for the past few years. After we collected the 12 pictures and complete editing, croping, adjustment light/dark etc, we put them on a cd after. Then, give the cd to Staples (Office Max was also priced about the same) and ended up with them doing all the work, giving us proofs, etc and shipping the beautiful calendars to us, I think 100 calendars cost about $9-$10 each.
The hardest part was getting good pictures with big enuff size, pixels, to get quality pictures, and collecting the $$ to place the order paid in advance. As I remember it the office product stores start reducing printing service prices starting about Nov 1.

That's cheaper than I would have thought.
What if we did this through the Registry? Maybe include it in next years membership at an additional fee.

That gives us plenty of time to start snapping pix.

Thanks

I'd bet Staples, Office Max or any similar offic supply store that does calendars would love to cut a great deal for us if we did it thru the buying power of the Registry. Think of the advertising exposure they'd get by doing our calendars with ZR-1 pictures!
When we did the calendars last time every body in the store and the staff where they did the printing ALL knew of our VETTES and drooled over the pictures. Whenever I'd go to the store, they'd page by saying " Printing services, the CORVETTE guy is here for you"

We've had a members calendar over at C3VR for a number of years. Here's a sample: http://www.c3vr.com/2008.asp

I'm not sure where to send them yet. If we get some interest, I'd be happy to call around and get some prices. I just don't know if we should do it through the Registry or, if we should just do it on our own. Ron, any suggestions?

Thanks

this idea has come up several times and in fact we talked about shooting the pics at carlisle this year.

I really like the idea of doing a ZR-1 calendar.

lets do it!! I'll bring it up at the next board meeting and I need someone to help us get the info of what it takes to get it done, costs, ect...

I think it would be great to get this done in time for 2009 as every ZR-1 owner would love it.

remembery sexycorvettes.com??? sam and I worked up a nice vette calendar and yes it was selling for around $10 which is very reasonable.

I even met a great photographer down in BG.

does anyone coming to carlisle have a really good digital camera that could volunteer to take some pics. we'll sure have plenty of ZR-1s to chose from there! that would give us plenty of time for production

thanks for bringing this up, great idea.
