62 WHEN Radio's Candy Apple Red Corvette
While WHEN's Heavy Vette was not
always candy apple red, it did get there eventually... and reportedly at a cost of about
$5,000... more than the car cost when it was brand new. Above and below are the two
popular versions of WHEN's Corvette. Above, WHEN promotional photo (courtesy Bob
Mitchell) taken circa 1980. Today the vehicle is once again white, serving as the
promotional vehicle of KOKZ - Cool 105.7, an oldies formated station in Waterloo, Iowa.
RIGHT: After many coats of candy apple red paint the Heavy Vette began a whole new life. Cindy Thomason, WHEN's promotion director at the time, stands beside the station's dream machine prior to a "Party in the Plaza" event in downtown Syracuse.
Below the 62 Heavy Vette appears at the New York State Fairgrounds for a guest appearance at The Syracuse Motorama held in the Center of Progress building. Look close and in the background you'll also see the WHEN Heavy Wind Surfer. Visible pictures hanging on back wall (l-r) Peter King and Jay Flannery top row.
