A little bit of past and present history about Corvettes of Bakersfield Inc. a non-profit organization.

In 1969 Associated Corvettes brought to Bakersfield and hosted one of the largest Corvette Conventions in the Western States, The Corvette Council’s Pre-convention, with Corvettes coming from as far away as Mississippi, putting Bakersfield on the Corvette map.
With a name change in the early 1970’s the club became known as Corvettes of Bakersfield a better fitting name to promote and enhance the image of Kern County and the City of Bakersfield to the rest of the Corvette Clubs, their Families and our Kern County Sponsors and charities.

With over 700 Corvettes attending, the Gambler’s Classic has become the largest anticipated Corvette Show in the Western States.
