Default Corvette History

Don't know if this has been posted previously, but I thought some of you might enjoy seeing this. It is a tape play by a St. Louis local station in 2008 featuring our favorite brand as a St. Louis industry.

Enjoy

Way cool, my first was a '59, and my second was a '69, I can't believe the paint scene, thanks.

Well worth the watch - thanks! I wish I would have kept my 58 (and a lot of other stuff along the way)!
