Certainly not as sleek as our C7's, but essential just the same - this is the little fire engine from the Bowling Green Corvette Assembly Plant. Such small industrial fire engines protected most of America's larger factories - and many still do.

Not sure about the Z51 package, and the color is probably not going to show up any time soon (I hope). Handling is questionable - "She corners like a rhinoceros on a wet clay bank" - and you can time her with a sundial . . . but I hear she has round tail lights!

Not THAT'S the kind of vehicle for which black wheels are appropriate!

I like the "Stand Two Feet Away" sign. Everybody knows that when the pump blows up the explosion isn't nearly as bad at two feet away compared to being right next to it.
