2018 Corvette production begins June 5th and will halt July 28th...then the plant will be closed for renovations for three months. Everything is running on time. November will be the start back up date for 2018 production. The new paint shop will first start painting yellow and white Corvettes.

Thanks Mike!
Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes it is a lot of work to do these new/old posts but the appreciation is my payback.

Maybe one of these Sunday mornings I can sit in one of these chairs and relax...
