That's the first name that came to mind for me, too. I wonder if he is still getting all the special treatment by GM. For a while there, it seemed like he owned the place.

GM supports Tunnel To Towers. Most "celebrities" don't. So I seriously doubt GM will invite any of them.

Who the hell cares if any celebrities will be in attendance? Please dont tell me you value a celebritie's opinion above what you can think for yourself. Where does this crap come from?

At 01-01-13 C7 reveal, the “celebrities” were Corvette chief engineers Dave McLellan, Dave Hill and Tadge Juechter. Always crowds around them. But biggest crowds were around the three C7s, of course!

+1 for Rick Conti.

Leno...good odds to place a bet for.
But which celebrities drive Corvettes?

Knowing this forum's knowledge, maybe Ron Jeremy or Traci Lords?
I think Kendal Jenner-Kardashian has a 1960 Vette.
Maybe another thread; what movie/ TV/ athlete celebrities drive a Corvette?

.
