Default Corvette Assembly line photo's?
I was wondering if anybody has any pictures of corvettes on the
Assembly line being assembled in different stages. I just thought that
would be very interesting to see, but would also help make better
sense on how the assembly took place for those hard to install parts.

Please share your photo's if you have them.

Thanks,
Riggs.

Here is one for early C1s :



I'm sure I also got a few of C2 assembly photos but can't locate them now.

Cameras were not allowed in the plant which is why the series posted by C3 Guy is so neat. Notice none of the pix have people in them and the line appears to be stopped. There is a December date on one of the frames which tells us the pix were taken after sometime December 8, 1980.

My guess has always been Christmas when the plant would have been closed with a security guard behind the camera. Whoever took the pix appears to have had access to almost the entire plant.
