Default History lesson in pics of all 7 Gens of Corvette trucking/Train delivery~Mike Furman*

~I have been thinking about doing a post like this where I show all the different Generations of Corvettes as they either leave the plant via truckload or by train and then arrive at the dealership. Having started selling Corvettes during the tail end of the 3rd Generation I felt it would be good to share these pics starting from Generation 1 all the way thru current day 7th Generation. So here are pictures spanning 66 years of Corvette production 1953 thru the model year 2019.

~C1~











~C2~





~C3~











~C4~





















~C5~













~C6~















Frank Class and one of the many Corvettes he bought from me...













~C7~











~~~A long long time ago...1985...Hard at work...Malcolm Konner Auto.

Back in the day the acid rain effected the paint just as much or more.

I have seen many, many truck loads of C7's headed north on I-75 in the past several years.
