Feb 27 Wed Corvettte museum and factory tour

Stopped in Bowling Green to see the Chevrolet Corvette museum and do the factory tour. The factory tour takes 1 1/2 hour and no cameras or recordings are allowed. Assembly line moves at 2.9 miles per hour and is 7 miles long. It takes 3 days to build a car, one in the paint shop prior to assembly and 2 shifts on the assembly line. They operate one shift per day and produce 170 cars per day. The fastest corvette goes from 1-60 mph in 2.8 seconds

The corvette museum is a car buffs heaven. The museum is a run by a foundation and is not owned by GM. All vehicles are on loan from individual car owners. The museum raffles new corvettes by selling $100 tickets limit of 3000 tickets. As soon a s the 3000 are sold they then start a new raffle.

This is a 1953 model , only 300 were built. All were polo white with red interior.

Base price was $3498.00

They keep a 2016 model at the front door that you can sit in .

The seats in this one were amazing. So comfortable.
