C6 Production Coming to an End, but C7 is Right Around the Corner!
Last month I had the pleasure of helping the National Corvette Museum Delivery Department with photography of a 60th Grand Sport Coupe. The gentleman that owns the car had won it in one of our Corvette raffles, and the photos that I took will appear in a leather bound photo album that he purchased.
We followed the car throughout the entire build process. It was followed from the bumper, freshly out of the paint booth, from the frame coming down the chassis line, from body panels and carpet installed to the drive train being married to body. This process took us a full two days to capture from 6:12am to 4:45pm.
As I sat waiting for the car to come to the next photo location I looked around and saw such pride in the employees faces as they work to build dreams for others. Here lies, what I consider, one of the greatest automobiles in the world, built by the greatest automakers in the world. The entire team from designers, sculptors, engineers, assemblers, test engineers, etc., each with the daunting task of creating the dreams of many.
