We started the day by going to the Corvette Assembly Plant. What a great start. Brad had a cousin, I think, who was a relation to an employee who worked there. So that got us the Family Tour.


IT WAS GREAT!!!!! We had a tour from Brads connection that gave the 8 of us our own private tour guide.


We were allowed special time to stop and ask all the questions we wanted. Over 2 hrs total.
And the best part- some of us got a real treat. Kelly (Mrs LT4Play) got to start a car on the line. I did too. They gave up birth certificates for the cars.
And Andy got a ride in a brand new Corvette into the rolling/ speed test. An employee drove the Vette up along side us and asked Andy if he wanted to go along. They drove into a test room where the car is then hooked up to a dyno and ran up to 70 MPH to test all the lights, gauges, wipers and engine. Then, exit out the other end to the water test area.
The smile on all of our faces were priceless, especialy Kelly when she started the Brand new Blue Z06.
Sorry- no pictures, as no cameras are allowed inside the plant. Very good tour, and probably a highlight of the whole trip for me.


Then, it was off to the National Corvette Museum accross the street.








There was a lot of Corvettes on display.
There was at least one of every generation.......



A whole string of Pace Car Editions......



Everything from the old (1953 Corvette)....



to the new (Corvette Concept cars).




Made for a great day of learning all about the Car we all have come to Love.
