This weekend on June 30, we celebrate National Corvette Day. If you're involved with either automotive engineering or industrial maintenance, you may be interested in one of Kentucky's unique manufacturing plants -- the GM Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green. The Corvette Museum nearby sells tickets to tour the plant and see how America's premier sportscar is created on a factory floor of 1 million+ square feet. Since its opening in 1981, it has produced over 1.1 million Corvettes. This fall in late August, the plant will celebrate another Corvette Caravan week on the parkways of Kentucky.
Recently, plant tours closed amid the rumors of an "unthinkable" improvement. Factory managers definitely didn't want any snoops to bring the news to the outside world. Perhaps during the Corvette Caravan days the new improvements will be revealed. For more car news, check out the library app Flipster for Motortrend and Car & Driver magazine issues!
