Ya...maybe I'm not the only one that never get's the car outta da geeraj! 
I've got hundreds of pics of the '74....but none are really calendar friendly. I do notice that quite a few of the folks that DO make the cut aren't even "regulars" on the site....which is really weird. You would think that it would be fairly easy to get 12 folks to submit pics that were of the quality needed. Perhaps, if you do this again next year, we should accept submissions all year? That would give folks plenty of time, and you plenty of time to yea or nae, and still have time to get more submissions.....
I have purchased a C3VR calendar every year that they have been available, but can only buy one, at the prices. I do unnerstand the concept of supply/demand....

Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed
Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses.
2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible
Another thought is along the lines of Joel's, and that is to suggest to people to take pictures of their Vette all year long. My guess is that yes, folks have plenty of shots of their car, but don't necessarily take them with the calendar in mind. Then, when calls for calendar shots come, they don't have them.
Let's make it a goal in 2013 to get people to think about the calendar all year long so we can have some great success next year.
If I go to the store to buy a commercial Corvette calendar, then yes, I will pay less, but with this calendar, they're all C3's and I know many of the cars
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

When ever we have a get together folks with good quality cameras should take pictures of other cars with the calander in mind. Should give you lots to pick from.

I've already set myself a reminder for the beginning of June to start asking for pics. Hopefully that will help.

I know. The sad part is that they are more expensive, and honestly, lesser quality materials, but that's the "price" we have to pay for only needing 40 of them. I think if I massed produced them, I'd probably need a license from GM, which I think starts at around $10,000.

Why? You can't print pictures of someone's car without permission from GM(or whomever the mfg is)?I'm just curious...

I'm not entirely sure. It's probably a gray area. I think as long as I don't use the word "Vette" or "Corvette" anywhere on the calendar, it would probably be legal without a license. So I could only say "C3VR Member Calendar" not "C3 Vette Registry Member Calendar"

Got my order in. Didn't expect to see my car in again. Must have been a shot from a previous year when the competition was much tougher. I normally would not go to the store to buy a calender but I like turning the page and saying, Hey, I know that car.
