[TABLE="align: left"] <tbody>[TR] [TD="align: left"] Son Surprises Dad with New Corvette Some people surprise their dad with a new tie or shirt, but for Roger Rosenbum it was a 2016 Triple Black Stingray that son Tony surprised him with. Roger, a Flint, MI GM retiree with 38 years of service; and son Tony, a career United States Marine (retired) visited this week taking R8C Museum delivery not only of Roger's Vette, but Tony also picked up his own 2016 Shark Gray Z06.​ "Dad and I have been wrenching on cars our whole lives... I've always loved cars and he passed that down to me. This is my give back," Tony told us.​ Read the full, touching story on our website here.​
