Default New Bowling Green Assembly Plant Video

Came across what appears to be new plant footage on YouTube.



Never get tired of seeing the place where my 08 coupe was born.

yes ,it's brand new, but the stats they're quoting are old (number of shifts, cars per day (88), etc.). those are old numbers for when it was at full-production. still, a great viewing.

I hope more on CF take a look.

Default ah...

I don't think the guy talking has even driven a Corvette... He said "You get behind the wheel, turn the KEY, and there is nothing like it."

Where is this key?

But he knew all about the "Fiber Car."

Probably not the most professional video-who made it and for what target audience?

Apparently the mueum commissioned it.

As someone who did the buyers tour, it was neat seeing the people again that I had the pleasure to meet.

Thanks for posting the video. Those videos and photos always brings back fond memories of the R8C tour when picking up my 08.

Maybe the guy drives a C5.
That would explain the shirt and his "turn the key" statement.

The worker in the video who was inspecting the paint finish on a white GS
sprayed some kind of solution on the right front fender
and then quickly wiped it off.
Was that some kind of quick detail solution?
Maybe Zaino?
