John Oates, of the rock and soul duo Hall & Oates, was on site to film a sizzle reel with Gamma Blast Studios out of Nashville, TN. The program, titled "Haulin' Across America," will potentially be picked up and aired by History Channel and/or Travel Channel and focuses on the history of transportation. While at the Museum, John learned about the history of the Corvette by Delivery Department team member Larry Crosbie, followed by a look at our restoration area with Daniel Decker. At the Motorsports Park, Track Operations Manager Matt Busby hosted John for some laps. Fingers crossed that the piece turns into a full-blown season. We'll keep you updated on any future air dates! ​ <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> Read more about John Oats' Visit Here. →​ ​ <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> Callaway Exhibit Profile: The RPO B2K Twin Turbo ​ <tbody> </tbody> Callaway Program Manager Chris Chessnoe gives us a closer look at the last of the C4 era Callaway Corvettes.

Mike and Glenda Winters took this opportunity to "birth" their 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in February and were the first customers to receive the newly designed birth certificate. Plant floor operators at the end of the line guide customers through this experience and provide a Corvette birth certificate to the recipient. With honor, the operator signs on behalf of the UAW Local 2164 members and awards the symbolic token to the new proud owner. ​ <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> Learn More About the Corvette Buyers' Tour Here.→​ ​ <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> Last Chance for Membership Special ​ <tbody> </tbody> You have just five more days to take advantage of our HALF PRICE Family Memberships!
