Dr. Mark Davis is a retired Chiropractic Physician and Real Estate Developer who lives in South Carolina. His love for Corvettes began in 1960 when he was only 5 after he spotted his first Corvette. He began working at the age of 10, saving every penny with a goal to buy a Corvette when he turned 16. In 1972, he purchased a used red 1969 convertible. Today Mark is 68 years young and has had a Corvette in his life ever since. As a matter of fact, Mark has gone on to own close to150 Corvettes over the past 51 years and is well known as a Corvette aficionado and collector of primarily low mileage, all original Corvettes. On January 12, 2024, he will be auctioning 3 of the best all original Corvettes in the world at the famous Mecum Kissimmee auction. These 3 cars quite possibly represent the absolute best, all original examples of the first 3 generations of Corvette.

Hi Mark,
This is Heather and John Dreissigacker. We met you and had a wonderful conversation with you at Kissimmee Show. We are the ones that live in Wilmington, NY. and have, the 1961 Corvette that John restored. We are trying desperately, to find a video of when the 1962 , that you owned was, actually in the video, on the Auction block. Do you have a video, or know of someone that does and would send it to us?! If so, would you kindly share it with us. Thanks so very much! We hope that all is well and with you!
Sincerely,
John and Heather Dreissigacker
