From Stock to Pro Stock

We See It All at Maple Grove

Each of the many Super Chevy Shows has a character of its own. From their location to the predominance of certain models of Chevys, we look forward to their individuality. Certainly Maple Grove, Pennslyvania, has always held a lure for the best and most ProStock and ProEngineered cars in the country. The layout of the showgrounds even accommodates this by lining them up on two perimeter fences, of which they use every bit of space allowed. Maybe it's the heritage of great dragstrips in the Northeast, or because there are so many great fab shops in the area specializing in custom frames, back-halving, and competition style suspension conversions that accounts for these great Pro cars. Whatever the reason, we're glad to see them at "The Grove."

On the other end of the spectrum, however, we got a look at one of our favorite models, a '55 Chevy Del Ray, absolutely box stock. Terry Zerbe's car has a straight-six engine and three speed trans. Del Rays stood out because of their unique upholstery, and Zerbe's was one of the best. It was one of many very well-done stockers that provided contrasts to the highly modified ProStock models at Maple Grove. Check out the pages of SUPER CHEVY and our other special edition magazines for full features on many of the great Maple Grove show cars.
