^^^ Even so, the Corvette remains one of the most hands on mass produced vehicles of our day.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I did the museum delivery/factory tour in 2015. Absolutely great experience.

Reminds me of when I bought my 75 coupe. After getting home from the dealer and washing it for the first time, I noticed the bottom quarter of the drivers door was gray primer, not white like the rest of the car !!!!

No safety mask or anything.. I bet that guys lungs were full of paint after painting all those cars.

^^^ The gentlemen in the photo that you referenced is actually one of the two gentlemen who oversee the entire fit and finish of the interior and exterior components. He and his counterpart spend a lot of time on the line each day inspecting the work of the assembly line workers and helping them find solutions for problems with parts, process, etc.

Again, thanks for the pics. On one of your photos, the back hatch was being installed on a Green Vette. The worker on the left had red tape covering the metal rivets on his jeans. Nice damage saver for the paint!

While on my last buyer's tour, my guide asked me what I thought about the guy with blue hair working on my car. I said, "As long as he does his job right, I don't care what color his hair is."

We're treated to some amazing photos of the assembly process, and all some people can comment on is how the workers are dressed. That's pretty bizarre.

Somehow, I don't think I'm getting a better car if the workers are all nattily attired and looking like human robots.

You are right, even though alot of posters here are giving you flak. And your comment dovetails into the C8 "mid-engine" threads. Go watch a youtube video of what is looks like when a $170K McClaren is built, then look at this, and tell me GM can sell a $150K Corvette. No way.

GM has a winning formula for the Corvette - price point, sales numbers, matched to a reasonable factory production process. At the $150K price point, people want something more and people who spend that much are more selective, and GM can't deliver that. They can produce a boutique mid-engine car in small numbers and sell it at that price point as a Cadillac, but they can't replace the entire Corvette lineup with that.

Yep wear a simple smock like the foreign workers prevents damage to cars. Its the attitude. GM will sink millions in a new paint system and the panels will be perfect, maybe. Then someone with studs on their jeans a belt buckle of what ever with scratch the new car, it will go to back room repair shop with less quality and folks with complain about paint quality.

But not too many years ago at break time the workers were allowed to sit in new cars and smoke so respect of your new Corvette is not shared by all at BG.

I wonder if the posters who love the open dress code wants their surgeons or even their dentist to dress in whatever. Its the same concept.
