Family Surprises Dad with Corvette


Neckties, cologne, tools, grilling supplies, a card - most of us pickup a small item that may or may not be very meaningful for dad on Father's Day. But for one Owensboro, Kentucky man - he received the surprise of a lifetime.


Randy had been a fan of Corvette for a long time, owning two in his younger years with plans to purchase another "one day." Wife Stacy decided that "one day" was now. We hope Randy's reaction to his gift puts a smile on your face like it did ours!

Help Find This 1966 Corvette


For many people, Corvettes hold special memories of loved ones. For Peter Geiger, that memory is of his brother, Robert J. Geiger. Robert, a lover of America’s Sports Car, had a unique 1966 Convertible in which he owned from 1973-75. It wasn’t like any other Vette – and that’s what makes it so special to Peter. Peter is on a mission to find Robert's Corvette and you might be able to help!

Third Place Dramatic Finish at LeMans


Corvette Racing has experienced highs and lows in its 18 appearances at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. America’s premier GT racing team added to that Sunday with a dramatic third-place finish in the GTE Pro category with Antonio Garcia, Jan Magnussen and Jordan Taylor climbing onto the podium together for the second time in four years.


The No. 63 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C7.R came back from an early-race puncture and clawed its way back into contention before barely missing out on its ninth class victory at Le Mans since 2001.


Oliver Gavin, Tommy Milner and Marcel Fässler placed eighth in the No. 64 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Corvette C7.R. The trio had a fight-back of their own after Milner lost a wheel in the opening half of the race. It proved to be the only mistake by that trio but the four laps lost proved costly as the GTE Pro race was as much as a seven-car fight into the last six hours.
