Interesting Corvette fact! I know, sorry, one of my other hobbies!

I was searching thru the net and came across an acticle that shed light as to why I have wanted a Vette since a child. Not only are they sick ass rides made in America, but my hometown here in Waco, Texas was almost the Vette manufacturing facility for GM!:rock:



"Back in 1979 when word got out of a possible move of the General Motors Corvette plant from St. Louis to Bowling Green, workers thought it was a ploy during contract negotiations. But GM was serious about moving the home of the Corvette and after considering sites in Waco, Texas, Wichita, Kansas and Montgomery Alabama, the General settled on Bowling Green, Kentucky."

It was a strategic move at the time... Kentucky is very central for shipping and receiving purposes.

The history of the Corvette is a great one. The program was almost scrapped several times. But, somehow, the true gearheads inside GM have kept it going all these years. ... Great story.

I've been in love with Vettes since taking my first rid in one. A brand new 66 that my uncle bought.

If I'm ever faced with the need for a new vehicle, it'll be a vintage C6 of some kind.
