How rare are Corvette assembly photo's from plant?
My Dad ordered a new Vette in 2000. A friend in management at the plant knew of his order and arranged >25 photo's of its build through the plant. Have the photos, order sheet and paper with spec's that was on car during build. Curious how rare this is? Is this done for everyone that "birth's" their Corvette?

I'd say pretty rare since you (the public) can't take pics in the plant. Having someone on the inside do it was a great benefit to your dad.

They should become more common now that you can get one of these...

Photos are NOT allowed in assembly plants. I worked for Ford Motor Co. as a Quality Coordinator and traveled to several plants. They do not want any of there secrets exposed to the public. It's not top secret but they try to keep there technology from other manufacturers.

I can't say about 2009, but today no purses, phones or cameras are allowed in the BG plant. As a matter of fact, the plant is currently re-tooling for the C7 and is closed to visitors until Fall of this year.
