Default A Video History the CORVETTE-GREAT VIDEOS

I know all of you will appreciate this as much as me --who would have known that General Curtis LeMay might have played a small part in getting GM to build the CORVETTE-- He wanted a sports car for his returning soldiers an AMERICAN sports car http://wheelstv.net/channels/2.0/driveintheatre.php

Great videos. Watched all four episodes.

Who'd of thought that total corporate investment for the original Corvette was less than the price of a new C6!

Yeah or how about General Curtis Lemay telling his friend ED Cole that it would be nice if GM made a sports car for our soldiers coming home from the korean war!!!

Yes, very cool link.

All the history was great but pretty much skipped over the C5.

Nice video. I especially like the s*** eating grins on the guys driving in the advertisements. I haven't seen that many teeth since Jaws.

Very cool, thanks.

Well they did run out of time as the approached the C4, barely gave mention to the C5 and minimized it in place of C6. Seems like they needed a number of more segments because the design and technology changes made automotive history with C5.

Other then that, cool.

I'm glad they had time to at least mention that there is a C5!
