Messner Legacy Found ThroughoutThe National Corvette Museum is home to many special vehicles - from mint classics, to one-of-a-kind prototypes, much-loved special editions, race cars and more. While the Museum now owns nearly 70 Corvettes (with all but one donated), a good portion of the display cars are also on loan from private individuals and General Motors. Cars are constantly shuffled and swapped, so no two visits to this Corvette mecca are the same.<br />
<br />
In 2013 the Museum was gifted its largest donation to date - a collection of ten Corvettes, from the late Don Messner and his wife Marlene. The pristine set contains many collector and special editions, low mileage and stunning examples of America's Sports Car. The carefully assembled collection were Don's pride and joy, and were left to the Museum upon his passing with the hope that they would inspire others to do the same.<br />
<br />
"He said he wanted to plant a seed," wife Marlene said. "He wanted others in similar situations with rare Corvettes to see the Museum as a place for them. Most of all, he wanted to inspire future generations to work hard to buy their own Corvettes some day so that they, too, could enjoy the lifestyle that goes with owning them."<br />
<br />
In 2014 all ten came together for a special display in the Museum's Exhibit Hall, and today - you can see five of them on the floor throughout the Museum while the other five remain behind the scenes, awaiting the next opportunity to return to the spotlight. Each of the cars has a great story - so we hope you enjoy reading about those you can see on your next visit!<br />

<b>1965 Custom Built Race Corvette</b> (currently on display in our lobby turntable)<br />
This Corvette bears a paint color similar to Cyber Gray and is not a standard 1965 exterior color, but does it turn heads! The car features a complete wide body kit, roll cage, period correct exhaust, custom built big block by Lingenfelter, custom chassis, custom sheet metal intake, Recaro race seats with harnesses, aluminum radiator and 5-speed transmission.<br />
<br />
<b>1967 427 Convertible </b>(currently on display in the Dealership)<br />
The Marina Blue beauty was the 2nd most popular color for 1967 and features a stinger stripe on the hood. It is optioned with a 390hp V8 turbojet engine, positraction rear axle, whitewall tires, side dual exhaust, AM/FM radio, softray tinted glass, white convertible top, 4-speed close ratio manual transmission and white and bright blue vinyl interior. It was produced in St. Louis on June 1, 1967 and sold by Penske-McKean Chevrolet of Philadelphia for $3,995.95. Don purchased the car April, 2012 and joined the NCRS, replacing a few parts on the car that had deteriorated while keeping the car period correct.<br />
<br />
<b>1996 Grand Sport</b> (currently on display in the Skydome)<br />
This model of Corvette is listed as one of the "10 most valuable Corvettes" by CNN Money because it was "available for one year only, was almost as fast [as the high performance ZR-1], easier to work on and is actually worth a good bit more."<br />
<br />
<b>1996 Collectors Edition </b>(currently on display in the Skydome)<br />
This car was manufactured December 6, 1995 in Bowling Green with option RPO Z15 ("Collector Edition"), making it a Sebring Silver Corvette with special trim. The May 1996 edition of Motor Trend magazine touted the car "a keeper and is likely one of the best all-around Corvettes ever hatched out of the Bowling Green, KY plant."<br />
<br />
<b>2012 60th Anniversary 427 Convertible</b> (currently on display in the Skydome)<br />
The 2013 model marked Corvette's 60th year, and was the final year for the sixth generation of Corvette. This special package was offered for all models for 2013, and the 427 Convertible combined the convertible with Z06 elements, including its 505hp, 427ci LS7 engine with dry sump, but retained the convertible's steel frame structure.<br />
<br />
Don's story is a special one that's we've put together as part of a new Heritage Series. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!<br />

The
car you are driving today will be a good source of many recyclable materials
tomorrow. In fact, around 80 percent of a car can be recycled, and much of it
takes place while your car is still in service through aftermarket recycling.
The National Corvette Museum’s new exhibit, Car Part Art, teaches visitors not
only about car recycling – but also demonstrates how one man’s trash is another
man’s treasure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over
70 works of art have come together to fill the Museum’s Exhibit Hall, from
Corvette hood liners serving as a canvas, to old rotors painted or welded or
backlit to create interesting sculptures. Works have been created by artists,
young and old, including area elementary, middle and high school students, to
seasoned professionals from Nashville, TN; Philadelphia, PA; Paducah, KY, and
more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Guest
Curator Andee Rudloff, a professional artist, consultant and educator, worked
with the Museum to bring the exhibition together. “We started in April,
officially announcing the exhibit on Earth Day, and since then we’ve worked to
secure scrap car parts for artists, cultivated relationships between the
artists and the Corvette Museum, and shared our enthusiasm and excitement about
this new exhibition.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
excitement was evident at the exhibit’s grand opening reception on Friday,
September 18 when more than 40 of the participating artists, joined by their
family, friends and Museum guests, gathered to celebrate the art. “We decided
to recognize some of the exceptional pieces with out-of-the-box awards,” Andee
said. “We invited some people from the community with unique but relevant
backgrounds to serve as judges, and they carefully selected their favorites in
categories like “Best Illumination,” “Precision Award,” and “Most Unique Use of
Car Parts.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
largest art piece, and perhaps the most eye-catching for a Corvette Museum
visitor, is a 1960 Corvette inspired by art cars of greats like Britto, Warhol,
Calder and Haring. “I chose a motif that was in concert with the car itself,
addressing the contours, historical context, and luxurious nature of the
‘Vette,” said artist Christopher Hayes. The car was transported all the way
from Colorado, courtesy of Intercity Lines, and certainly earned the “Biggest
Impact” award.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rounding
out the exhibit are five pieces on loan from Michelin – all entries in their
InTIREnational competition which challenges participants to create a piece of
art with an international theme using up to four scrap tires donated by
Michelin.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
exhibit was made possible with the help of sponsors Michelin, PPG Automotive Refinish, US
Bank and Intercity Lines. Additionally, car parts were graciously donated by:
Ace Auto Salvage of Nashville; A & S Auto Glass of Nashville; C&H Truck
and Equipment; Corvette Central; Falloway Auto Parts; Final Finish of
Morgantown, KY; Franklin Automotive Center; General Motors Bowling Green
Assembly; Holley Performance Products; J.D. British Car Service; Midas; Parrish
Auto Service; Barry & Jackie Passmore (Russell Springs, KY); Service Kind
Collision Repair of Nashville; and Simpson County Tire and Auto.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
Car Part Art exhibit runs through January 8, 2016 at the National Corvette
Museum and visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorite piece to receive
the “People’s Choice Award” at the end of the exhibit period. Learn more at <a href="http://www.carpartart.org/">www.carpartart.org</a>.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
When deciding to donate a car to the National Corvette
Museum, each donor has their reasons. For some it is to make room in their
garage for the latest model, others it is because they would like to take
advantage of the tax write-off benefits. For Craig Conde it was a combination
of reasons, making his donation an emotional one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
After disability retiring seven years ago and due to
multiple surgeries and medical issues, it had become impossible for Craig to
enjoy riding in his Corvettes. “I had stopped showing them about two years ago
because I was not able to take care of them,” Craig recalled. “I couldn’t bring myself to sell them,
emotionally I couldn’t.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Craig and wife Sharon, Lifetime Members of the Museum and
members of the Corvette Legends of Texas Club in the Dallas/Fort Worth area,
knew they needed to find a home for their prized 1978 25<sup>th</sup> Silver
Anniversary Corvette, and their 2003 50<sup>th</sup> Anniversary Corvette.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
After a trip to Wisconsin, Craig decided on a whim to make a
detour and stop by the Corvette Museum to check out the restored Skydome after
the sinkhole construction was complete. There he saw the special Anniversary
and Special Edition Corvette display.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
“I looked at the 25<sup>th</sup> and 50<sup>th</sup> that
were on loan to the Museum, and I thought – this just isn’t right,” Craig said.
“The Museum has been open 21 years, and somebody
should have already donated these cars to the Museum. So I felt this was
something that needed to be fixed.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The cars were picked up in McKinney, Texas while Craig and
Sharon traveled in Sharon’s 2005 Daytona Sunset Orange Corvette Coupe to
Bowling Green on September 11 to officially turn the keys to their babies over.
With staff and visitors clapping and cheering, Sharon drove the 1978 in to the
Museum, followed by Craig in the 2003.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
“These are their children, and now we’re responsible for
them,” Gary Cockriel, Museum Development Officer said during the ceremony. “They’ve
asked for visitation rights from now on, of course,” he joked “but it’s just a
great honor to help keep our museum and their museum going for future generations.
That’s what we’re all about. People like this are what keeps this museum alive.
They’re stepping up and doing it not only with their cars, but also a donation
to help keep up the cars,” Cockriel added.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
“We want to thank Johnnie Downs, the NCM staff and
volunteers that came to our home on Labor Day and assisted in the appraisals
and transportation of the cars to the NCM,” Craig said. “I look forwarded to
continuing to support the Museum,” he added.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Thank you to Craig and Sharon for these wonderful additions
to the Museum, and for your contribution to ensure your children are taken care
of for years to come! </div>

<br />
It’s official! A year and a half after a large sinkhole formed in the Skydome of the National Corvette Museum, the 13 story iconic landmark is back, better than ever, with all eight “sinkhole Corvettes” returned to display. Though the Skydome re-opened to visitors on July 6, a ceremonial ribbon cutting (or rather, caution tape cutting) was held as part of the Museum’s 21st Anniversary Celebration.<br />
<br />
What could have been a major road block for the Museum became more of a speed bump as the sinkhole is credited with the 67% increase in visitors for 2014. Instead of immediately filling the sinkhole and restoring the Corvettes, the Museum “made lemonade” and embraced the international news-making occurrence, putting nature’s handiwork on display for most of 2014.<br />
<br />
“The success of the sinkhole saga could not have been possible without the help and support of several key players,” said Katie Frassinelli, Museum spokesperson, at the dedication event. Frassinelli stressed how fortunate the Museum was that no one was in the building when the collapse occurred while thanking the construction crew and insurance company for also embracing the new attraction. “They have entertained our crazy requests – from saving sinkhole boulders for our landscaping, to salvaging dirt and rock that we bottled for sale in the Corvette Store,” she said. Frassinelli also commented that much of the Museum’s positive outcome from the sinkhole collapse is a result of being able to release video footage of the collapse as it occurred, and later allowing visitors to stand mere feet from the sinkhole to get an up close view.<br />
<br />
“There is one chapter left to our story,” Frassinelli said. “Late this fall we are excited to welcome a special exhibit called Corvette Cave-In: The Skydome Sinkhole Experience. Visitors will learn the particulars of sinkholes, karst landscapes, and caves as well as what happened, why it happened, details on the eight Corvettes and how they were recovered and restored, and how the building was structurally repaired. The tour ends as the cave they are visiting virtually collapses over their heads to reveal their location underneath the Museum.”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The ceremony concluded with the caution tape cutting before rolling into a seminar on the restoration of the 1992 “1-millionth” Corvette. After more than four months and 1,200 man-hours of painstaking craftsmanship by the GM team, the restoration of the milestone car is complete, and the Corvette was unveiled in the Skydome.<br />
<br />
The 1-millionth Corvette was one of the eight cars that fell victim to the February 12, 2014 sinkhole. And Chevrolet quickly came forward and pledged to restore it. After being rescued from the sinkhole, the 1-millionth Corvette was moved from the Museum to the Design Center on GM’s Technical Center campus in Warren, Mich., for restoration.<br />
<br />
“As the one and only 1-millionth Corvette, its preservation was important to us as the designers of the vehicle – and as Corvette enthusiasts,” said Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design. “The damage was significant in many ways; however we have one of the most highly skilled specialty shops and team of people in the industry, so they were fully prepared to take on the challenge.”<br />
<br />
“Chevrolet is proud to have helped restore this extremely significant car in Corvette's long, storied history," said Mark Reuss, GM executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain. "When we disassembled it, we found that each employee involved in building it had signed a part of the car, which was fantastic and moving to see. It brought the history to life, and reinforced the importance of the project."<br />
<br />
Despite extensive damage, GM’s team vowed to preserve and repair as many original components as possible – a decision that involved posterity as much as history, in order to preserve those signatures of the Bowling Green Assembly workers who built the car.<br />
<br />
Only two signed components couldn’t be saved, so the team had the autographs scanned, reproduced as transfers and placed on the replacement parts.<br />
<br />
One component with a single signature from Bowling Green Assembly employee Angela Lamb was too damaged to save or even accurately scan for her autograph. Lamb joined event attendees for the big reveal, signing her name on the replacement part. The 1-millionth Corvette is now historically accurate down to the last signature.<br />
<br />
Among the parts replaced were the hood, front fascia and the lower panels between the front wheels and doors, as well as a number of ancillary supporting components under the hood. The replacements came from a vehicle of the same vintage and color, ensuring authenticity of the parts and materials involved with the restoration.<br />
<br />
A few other components, such as the rear fascia and front exhaust system, would have probably been replaced in almost any other restoration project, but the team repaired them because they were also covered in signatures.<br />
<br />
Additional highlights from the restoration:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The front sub-frame was damaged in the fall into the sinkhole and required straightening</li>
<li>The wheels were damaged, but reconditioned, with the original Goodyear Eagle GS-C tires</li>
<li>Rather than replace the scuffed and scratched pad on the instrument panel, its soft cover was carefully removed and replaced to preserve the employee-signed structure beneath it</li>
<li>The red leather seats, featuring one-off “1,000,000th Corvette” embroidery on the headrests were damaged but deemed irreplaceable, so they were restored, including a few replacement patches of carefully matched hide</li>
<li>The 5.7L LT1 engine, transmission and other drivetrain components were inspected and found to be damage-free</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Surprisingly, the one component the team didn’t have to replace was the crushed windshield header. When the car first rolled into the shop, an overhead crane was used to raise it enough to make the car drivable, but the frame pulled up surprisingly close to the original position, encouraging the team to save it.<br />
<br />
“The header restoration was a wonderful surprise for what everyone assumed would be the toughest aspect of the restoration,” said Bolognino. “With access to the original specifications, we got it spot-on – and even the new windshield glass dropped in perfectly.”<br />
<br />
The final touch was replacing the unique “1,000,000th” windshield banner it wore when it rolled off the assembly line 23 years ago. The computer graphic file used for the original was still available, allowing creation of an identical banner.<br />
<br />
The 1-millionth Corvette is the second sinkhole-damaged Corvette that Chevrolet has restored. The first, a 2009 Corvette ZR1 prototype known as the Blue Devil, was only lightly damaged and was returned to its original condition last fall.<br />
<br />
The National Corvette Museum’s new Maintenance and Preservation Department will restore the third car, a 1962 Corvette. The five additional Corvettes swallowed by the sinkhole will remain in their as-recovered state to preserve the historical significance of the cars.<br />
<br />
<b><i>FAST FACT: The 1-Millionth Corvette rolled off the assembly line as a convertible with a white exterior and a red interior - just like the first Corvette produced in 1953.</i></b><br />

<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The
GM Foundation today donated $75,000 to 11 nonprofit organizations in the Bowling
Green area, making this the fifth consecutive year
the foundation’s Plant City Grants are being awarded in the home of the iconic </span><a href="http://media.gm.com/content/media/us/en/chevrolet/vehicles/corvette/2014.html"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Chevrolet Corvette.</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In the last five years, GM Foundation
donations in the region totaled $325,000, including Plant City Grants and a

Lori Wingerter. “This year, the GM Foundation plans to provide $2 million in

resources that families and neighborhoods rely on every day.”</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

grants were announced and presented at the Boys & Girls Club of Bowling
Green, where 24 GM employees spent their day volunteering to clean and organize
the facility, room by room. In fact, a total of 80 GM employees from sites across
the U.S. converged in Bowling Green this week to provide ride and drive
opportunities and community service work as part of GM’s Outreach Program. In
addition to the Boys & Girls Club, service projects included work at St.
Vincent DePaul, New Beginnings Therapeutic Riding, the International Center of
KY and KY Legal Aid.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The National Corvette Museum has received a $1,000 grant
from Macy's to support youth Engineering with Minecraft Camps.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Across the country, support from Macy's and Bloomingdale’s
giving programs helped sponsor free admission to museums and exhibits, special
musical performances, art exhibits, and art and theatre workshops for children.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"In the past year we have hosted five Hooked on Science
Engineering with Minecraft Camps, and all five of them have sold out with long
wait lists," said Museum Education Coordinator Kellie Steen. "Through
this support from Macy's we have already scheduled three more camps for
September 21, 2015, January 18, 2016 and February 15, 2016 when many of the
area school children are out for holidays. We are thrilled with this new
partnership to bring more kids out to the Museum for educational
opportunities."<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bowling Green's Macy's has continued to partner with the Museum
by offering a Corvette Store presence within their Greenwood Mall location.
Additionally, the Museum loans Corvettes to the store for display as a way to
cross promote the brands. Labor Day Weekend, as part of the Museum’s 21<sup>st</sup>
Anniversary Celebration, Macy’s will be display two additional Museum-owned
Corvettes, a 1959 and a 1966.</div>

“Macy’s prides itself on offering products from iconic
American brands, and Corvette is THE American Sports Car. It was only natural
for our Bowling Green store to form a meaningful and on-going partnership with
the National Corvette Museum,” said Terry Busing, VP Store Manager at Macy’s.
“We are excited that our grant will help bring additional Minecraft camps to
the Museum.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Rick and Deb Seymour with the 1988 35th Anniversary Corvette</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was 1988. The Seymours were in their early 30s and
already owners of a 1985 Corvette. After seeing the new 35<sup>th</sup>
Anniversary Edition on the cover of Vette Vues magazine they started to think
about upgrading their Corvette to a newer model. “At first, our dealer didn’t
think he was going to be able to get one of the special limited editions,”
recalls Rick. But then the phone call came that they did indeed score one. “It
was May 28 and we decided to go to the dealership to see it,” says Rick. “We
walked into the showroom, and that was it.” The Seymours told the dealer they
wanted it, to rope it off and they would be back for the car. “Our car payment
was more than our house payment,” laughs Deb.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It doesn’t take long to understand why the Seymours get emotional
when talking about the car. It was driven just a little here and there (racking
up only 380 miles), and it was pampered, never being washed with a hose, except
for when the wheels and tires needed cleaning. It is all original except for
the battery, and gloves even kept body oil from making their way onto the
steering wheel. “You might consider it a little nutty,” Rick chuckles. We
reassured Rick that, while few in number, we do have a couple of cars with the
plastic still covering the interior. But overall, this car is unlike most. It
is a true Museum quality show piece in the same condition it was in when it
rolled off the line. A well preserved example of those 2,050 35<sup>th</sup>
Anniversary Corvettes made for 1988. The quality of the car’s condition would not
go unnoticed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Bloomington Gold moved to the Seymour’s hometown of
Champaign, IL they knew it was time to get the car certified. “We shipped the
car in an enclosed trailer, and turned the trip into a wonderful celebration,”
remembers Deb. “Lots of friends and family came to see the car get certified.”
The car earned Bloomington Gold,
Survivor and Benchmark Certifications before being returned home to Garden
City, ID.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a 2006 trip to Bowling Green that convinced Lifetime
Museum Members Rick and Deb that their baby should eventually return “home” to
Kentucky. The couple participated in a R8C Corvette Delivery, picking up their
new 2006 Z06 at the Museum and touring the GM plant, even getting to start up a
car fresh off the assembly line. “That trip convinced us that this is our car’s
home,” said Deb.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The couple had put the 1988 in their will for the Museum,
but after reading that the Museum was seeking a 35<sup>th</sup> Anniversary
Corvette for display, decided that now might be the time to go ahead and donate
it. “After it was certified, all it did
was sit on a rack, covered,” explains Deb. “We decided we might as well donate
it while we are still alive so we can come see it, and others can see it.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The car was again loaded onto a transporter and shipped to
Bowling Green, arriving at the Museum at the end of July. “This is a big part
of our lives,” says Deb. “The opportunity to share it with so many people is
just the best thing that could happen to us.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you to Richard and Debra for entrusting your beautiful
piece of history to the Museum. The Corvette is now featured in the Skydome as
part of an Anniversary and Special Edition display and is sure to be enjoyed by
many visitors for years to come.</div>

It was April 22, 1989 - 100 years after the Oklahoma
Territory Land Run and many in the Sooner State were commemorating the occasion
with various deals and specials. One such promotion was at the Chevrolet
dealership in Oklahoma City, which advertised all cars on sale for only $89
over invoice. Jim Dodrill saw this as the perfect opportunity to score a much
lusted after Corvette. Luckily, the lot had three to choose from, and it was a brand
new 1989 Medium Blue Metallic Corvette that he brought home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Younger brother, Ike (Lifetime Museum Member), fondly
remembers the day Jim came home with the car, and the memories that were made
over the next 20 years. “We took many trips in that car… to Bloomington Gold,
it’s been driven in the Caravan, and several times to the Lone Star Corvette
Club event at the Texas Motor Speedway.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sadly, Jim suffered a massive heart attack in 2009 and
unexpectedly passed away. Over time, Jim’s widow, Sandra, and son, James, decided
the car might make a good vehicle for James to drive. It wasn’t running at the
time so Ike stepped in to fix it, and before long James was driving the Vette.
As with most cars over 20 years old the Corvette started to have issues. James
reverted to driving an old truck until it hit 200,000 miles and was ready to be
retired for something more reliable. Sandra thought trading in both the
Corvette and truck for something newer would be best – prompting Ike to issue a
proposition. “I asked if I could buy the car, get it running and then donate it
to the Museum in memory of Jim. The car had 28,000 miles on it,” Ike said. “They discussed it and decided it was the
best thing to do.”</div>

Ike rebuilt the headlight motors, alternator, replaced the
fuel pump/sender unit, fuel injectors, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the
top, changed out plugs, wires, ignition system, coil cap, and gave it a basic
tune up, a new battery and new tires. “I essentially tried to make it as
reliable of a car as we could with the hope that the Museum would be able to
use it for any kind of parades, track events, VIP events, anything like that,”
Ike said. “My hope is that you guys will have some wonderful times with the
car, too.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When asked what Jim would think about the car’s new home Ike
can’t help but smile. “I think he’s up there smiling right now, looking down on
us. I think he’s very pleased. I am. I think this is a wonderful thing that we
can do for the Museum and I hope that more and more people are able to do the
same thing.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you, Ike, for your generosity and dedication to seeing
Jim’s legacy live on. We are sure there are many more memories to be made with
the car.</div>

William (Bill) Engel, Jr. a.k.a. “Sweat Hog” of Albany, NY;
Ridgewood, NJ and now Summit, NY has owned three Corvettes, equally spaced 20
years apart and each with its own memories. The first was a 1967, bought May
24, 1971 as the third owner. “At the time of purchase the engine was dismantled
and there was a swallowed valve which had put a hole in the #7 cylinder,” Bill
recalled. “I rebuilt the engine and put a sleeve in the #7 cylinder. The car
was functional and on the road by 1972,” he added.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bill joined the Tri Vettes Ltd. Corvette Club of East
Greenbush, NY and while in the club he raced the car on closed course tracks
and in road rallies. He was one of the members that was instrumental in winning
the North East NCCC Championships in 1974. Today, the car is still road worthy
and about 85% original.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1986 Bill purchased Corvette number two… a 1987 Coupe
that he picked up from McGuire Chevrolet in North Bergen, NJ on New Year’s Eve.
It was his daily driver for about ten years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally, to complete his collection spanning 40 years, Bill
purchased a 2007 Atomic Orange Corvette. The car had to be shipped from a
dealer in Illinois to Hawthorne Chevrolet in New Jersey as it was the last one
of this color.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sadly, Bill was diagnosed last December with inoperable
liver cancer. Like most Corvette owners, he didn’t want to sell his cars, and
didn’t want anything changed on the 1967.
“I had been a member of the Museum for awhile and had been reading
articles in the magazine about recent car donations,” Bill said. “Donating my 1967 and 1987 was a good way to
ensure the cars would be cared for.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks to Bill for his generosity and passion, ensuring the
history of Corvette is passed down to future generations and enthusiasts to
come!</div>

<br />
While the last Corvette rolled off the assembly line in Bowling Green, KY just over a week ago (Wednesday, June 17 to be exact), Chevrolet has already shared with us their final model year counts for the 2015 Corvette. Corvette sales were down 8% from 2014 (37,288 vs 34,240), but model year 2015 was shorter than 2014 which would account for the dip.<br />
<br />
The Museum delivered 1,049 of the 2015 model year cars, the 2nd highest number of Corvettes delivered when compared to Chevrolet Dealerships, and as Harlan Charles, Chevrolet Corvette Product Manager said, "If you were your own country, you would be 3rd after the US and Canada."<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at some of the stats:<br />
<br />
Stingray Coupes were the most popular model with 60.6%, followed by Z06 Coupes at 20.4%, Stingray Convertibles at 14.1% and Z06 Convertibles at 4.9%.<br />
<br />
The 2LT Package was the most popular for the Stingray with 42% of the models having it, but Z06 buyers preferred the 3LT, boasting 69% with that option.<br />
<br />
The Z51 Performance Package was another popular option with 53% of buyers opting for it while the Z07 option was added to only 39% of the Z06s.<br />
<br />
At the April 2014 Bash at the National Corvette Museum, <a href="http://corvettemuseum.blogspot.com/2014/04/2015-corvette-offers-atlantic-pacific.html" target="_blank">Chevrolet revealed two new appearance packages</a>: Atlantic and Pacific. If you went with either package - you now have a pretty rare Corvette as only 17 Corvettes are optioned with Atlantic, and 97 with Pacific.<br />
<br />
Automatics once again took the top spot with 68% of Corvette buyers selecting a paddle shift transmission. The Z06 for the first time gave buyers the chance to option the performance Corvette with an automatic, and 48% of buyers did so. 90% of Corvette buyers also added Performance Exhaust.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIIt8BOjFYgVWraONBi0e1VvDw5KGUavntRG6e8c9EQPnZuNR3Qgakigo4PqJyJDlA9ZO8UMZGdZoKyVTtDwbNeON4piM1f9sMLq_9a8aK2ZdRwPq1ztFmCxnPO0WChUpMEWiGlng3xD9b/s1600/colors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIIt8BOjFYgVWraONBi0e1VvDw5KGUavntRG6e8c9EQPnZuNR3Qgakigo4PqJyJDlA9ZO8UMZGdZoKyVTtDwbNeON4piM1f9sMLq_9a8aK2ZdRwPq1ztFmCxnPO0WChUpMEWiGlng3xD9b/s320/colors.jpg" width="157" /></a>Black wheels took the cake for both Stingray and Z06 models with 36% of Stingrays optioned with Painted Black ZF1/Z51 wheels, and 54% with Black Z06 wheels (note: the Stingray offered a wider selection of wheels than the Z06). Red calipers were also popular, with 54% of Corvettes having them.<br />
<br />
Black was also popular inside the car with 45% of Corvettes having Black Leather Interior. 82% of the convertibles had a black top. GT seats were also popular being used in 86% of the cars.<br />
<br />
And finally, the exterior colors. Arctic White took top honors with 18.9% or 6,461 of the cars followed by Torch Red (16.4% or 5,625 cars); Shark Gray (15% / 5,130); Black (15% / 5,128); Laguna Blue (8.8% / 3,015); Crystal Red (6.4% / 2,191); Velocity Yellow (6% / 2,065); Blade Silver (5.2% / 1,791); Night Race Blue and Daytona Sunrise Orange (each with 4.1% or 1,417 cars per color). Of course if you add together the two "reds" you get 23% which would then make red the most popular.<br />

Craftspeople and technicians at the General Motors Design Center are painstakingly restoring the historic 1 millionth Chevrolet Corvette damaged nearly 16 months ago when a sinkhole opened beneath the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky.<br />
<br />
The restoration crew is part of GM’s Mechanical Assembly group at the Design Center, which typically spends its time building prototype and concept vehicles. The white 1992 Corvette is a challenge because rather than build an all-new vehicle from the ground up, the workers are trying to preserve the original appearance of a production vehicle.<br />
<br />
It is the second of three sinkhole-damaged Corvettes that Chevrolet has pledged to restore. The first, a 2009 Corvette ZR1 prototype known as the Blue Devil, was only lightly damaged and was returned to its original condition last fall. The National Corvette Museum will oversee the restoration of the third car, a 1962 Corvette.<br />
<br />
Five other Corvettes swallowed by the sinkhole will remain in their as-recovered state to preserve the historical significance of the cars. They will become part of a future sinkhole-themed display at the museum.<br />
<br />

<br />
On Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014, at 5:44 a.m., National Corvette Museum personnel were notified by their security company about the burglar alarm going off in the Skydome area of the museum. Upon arrival at the museum, a sinkhole measuring about 45-by-60 feet wide and 30-foot deep was discovered.<br />
<br />
Security camera footage showing the Skydome floor’s collapse has been viewed more than 8.5 million times on YouTube.<br />
<br />
Eight historic Corvettes – two on loan from GM and six owned by the museum – were swallowed that day:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1993 ZR-1 Spyder (on loan)</li>
<li>2009 ZR1 “Blue Devil” prototype (on loan)</li>
<li>1962 Corvette</li>
<li>1984 PPG Pace Car</li>
<li>1992 1 millionth Corvette</li>
<li>1993 40th Anniversary Corvette</li>
<li>2001 “Mallett Hammer” Z06</li>
<li>2009 1.5 millionth Corvette</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
On March 3, 2014, the 2009 Blue Devil was the first car recovered and despite significant damage was started and driven out of the Skydome. The 1.5 millionth Corvette and Mallet Corvette were the last cars pulled from the sinkhole, on April 3 and April 9, respectively – after workers were initially unable to find them amid the collapsed earth.<br />

General Motors announced the moves today<b> </b>that include retaining 150 jobs and building the 450,000 square-foot paint shop that is almost half the size of the entire current production facility. The investment builds on approximately $135 million GM has invested in the plant over the last four years for the new <a href="http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2011/May/0504_bg_reuss.html" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; color: #1f3c8a; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;">Corvette Stingray</a> and <a href="http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2013/Jan/0130_bowlinggreen.html" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; color: #1f3c8a; outline: none; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;">Performance Build Center</a>.

Said UAW Vice President Cindy Estrada: “This new paint shop will mirror the efficiencies and technologies of the new body shop, installed with the launch of the Stingray. Hardworking UAW members have proudly built vehicles in Bowling Green for more than 30 years, and we are pleased to be a part of such a significant facility upgrade.”</div>

Corvette production began in 1981 in Bowling Green following assembly in Flint, Mich., and St. Louis. Each has been an exclusive home of the Corvette, contributing to its distinction as the world’s longest-running, continuously produced passenger car. More than 1.6 million have been produced in 62 years.</div>

Since the launch of the all-new 2014 Stingray, the Corvette has won more awards than any other car in the industry, including the <i>2014 American Car of the Year</i>, <i>Car & Driver’s 10 Best</i> and <i>Automobile Magazine’s Automobile of the Year</i>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Building on that recognition, Corvette sales reached an eight-year high in 2014 with almost 38,000 cars sold globally. The plant welcomed a record 56,000 tourists last year.</div>

Well before modified race cars plastered with sponsor logos
took to oval tracks across the country, small, fast stock cars could be seen
speeding around the Appalachian region carrying bootleg whiskey, attempting to
evade police. Drivers would modify their cars to make them quick and nimble,
maximizing speed as well as space to carry their precious cargo. The sport of “runnin’
shine” eventually evolved and the National Association for Stock Car Auto
Racing (NASCAR) was officially founded in 1948 by Bill France, Sr. Today the
sport is second to the NFL among professional sports franchises when it comes
to television ratings in the United States.<o:p></o:p></div>

The National Corvette Museum’s Exhibit Hall is hosting a
special exhibit to pay homage to the sport, from its early roots of moonshine
running, to today’s multi-billion dollar industry. The exhibit includes 14 cars

Volunteers are the lifeblood of most nonprofit organizations
and the same is true at the National Corvette Museum. Many of you not only
volunteer your time during our Museum events, but you also work the Corvette
Store at car shows across the country, plan Corvette Club group visits to
volunteer, and even visit us multiple times throughout the year – just to help
out around the Museum. Randy Pierce and
Charla Heintz and two such people who come to Bowling Green, simply to help out
where they can around the Museum.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I got to know Randy and Charla when they started
volunteering at the Museum,” said Betty Hardison, Library & Archives
Coordinator. “That was probably 10-15 years ago. There’s no telling how many
hours they spend here. They come at least 6-8 times a year for a week at a time
just to volunteer.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Betty shared that you’ll often find them in the Corvette Store
working, but that Randy also picks up oversized items across the country,
typically things people have donated, and delivers them to the Museum. “He picked up several pallets of little model
Corvettes in Pennsylvania; about 2,600 automotive magazines in New York… he
goes anywhere for us,” Betty added.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gary Cockriel, Development Officer for the Museum,
reiterated Randy and Charla’s commitment. “I don’t think we’ve ever called on
them, and they not help us do something. Ever.” Gary shared that while Randy
and Charla will volunteer for the Museum, they also are Lifetime Members, have
loaned cars for display, are in the Duntov Society, participated in R8C Museum
Deliveries and an Xperience, have Walk of Fame bricks, and more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Randy came to Betty in January when he and Charla were
volunteering at the Museum and told her he had a surprise. “He said he was
going to be donating their 2007 Ron Fellows Edition Z06 Corvette to the Museum
during the April Bash event, but he wanted to surprise everyone.” Betty said that with the car being a Special
Edition, they didn’t drive it much to keep the miles low.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I figured because this one is such a unique car, it’s a
numbered car… we might as well donate it now and get some fun out of it being
down there,” Randy said. “It’s probably
the only one of that edition to be donated to the Museum, and we will get more
pleasure out of it being down at the Museum.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The 2007 Ron Fellows Special Edition Z06 was created to
honor the famed American LeMans Series GT1 racer, and was the first signed
limited edition in Corvette history. It was Arctic White with Monterey Red
front fender stripes, and had a unique interior and exterior trim. Only 399
were built, including 300 for the U.S., 33 for Canada and 66 for other markets.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This is a rare edition and we are excited to have it for
display,” said Betty. “It is with the help of Randy and Charla and other Museum
supporters that we are able to continue preserving the history of Corvette.
Their car will be enjoyed by visitors for many years to come.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s part of our life anymore, the Corvette family,” Randy
added. “We enjoy everyone at the Museum and the Museum itself, all the people
that come with it, the volunteers and employees.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks to Randy and Charla not only for this generous
donation, but for their on-going support of the Museum!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Advanced phone integration
technology in the 2016 Corvette Stingray provides owners a simple and intuitive
way to use their compatible smartphone in their vehicle. It integrates certain
phone functions onto the 8-inch-diagonal color touchscreen, allowing users to
call up music, navigation apps and more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Once the phone is plugged in to
the MyLink USB port, users call up music (saved or streaming), travel/map apps
and other apps using the MyLink touchscreen, leaving the phone safely stowed –
and avoiding the need for the driver to take his or her eyes off the road.
Using voice commands built into a smartphone, drivers can also dictate and hear
text messages hands-free. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A projection icon on the MyLink screen is visible
when a phone is not connected. The icon changes to indicate a specific
technology brand name when a phone is connected. The user can enter advanced
phone integration mode and exit to other MyLink settings and menus, while
continuing to stream music or audible navigation directions from a compatible
phone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Complementing MyLink to enhance connectivity is OnStar
with 4G LTE and standard built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. It </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">provides a mobile hub for drivers and passengers to stay
connected. The hotspot is on whenever the vehicle is on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

downforce<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The performance targets of the Z06 also posed a challenge for the design
team, which had to create a striking design that also contributed to increased
capabilities. </span><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The design changes began not with
the exterior panels, but the tires. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">To
deliver the levels of grip needed for the Z06’s performance targets, the car is
fitted with larger Michelin tires (Pilot Super Sport tires for the Z06; Sport
Cup 2 tires with the Z07 package). The P285/30ZR19 front tires are 1.5 inches
wider than the tires on the Stingray, while the 335/25ZR20 rear tires are two
inches wider. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">And
to cover the wider tire tread, the fenders of the Z06 were extended by 2.2
inches (56 mm) at the front, and 3.15 inches (80 mm) at the rear. These
extensions give the Corvette Z06 a wider, lower appearance further emphasized
by a unique rear fascia. It incorporates the same taillamp assemblies as the
Stingray, but on the Z06 the taillamps are pushed approximately three inches
farther apart, toward the edges of the body. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The
tires are mounted on lightweight, spin-cast aluminum wheels that are also wider
than the Stingray (19 x 10 inches in front and 20 x 12 inches in the rear). </span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Their open, ultralight design showcases the
massive Brembo brakes, which are part of the design aesthetic:</span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The Z06 features
two-piece steel rotors, measuring 14.6 x 1.3-inch (371 x 33 mm) front and 14.4
x 1-inch (365 x 25 mm) rear, with aluminum six-piston and four-piston fixed
calipers, respectively</span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The Z07 package adds
larger, 15.5 x 1.4-inch (394 x 36 mm) front and 15.3 x 1.3-inch (388 x 33 mm)
carbon ceramic-matrix brake rotors for consistent performance lap after lap,
and collectively save 23 pounds over the standard Z06 rotors. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">To
harness the cornering and braking grip afforded by the larger tires and brakes,
the exterior of the Corvette Z06 is tailored to produce aerodynamic downforce
that presses the tires to the ground at high speeds. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The Z06 offers three increasing levels of aerodynamic downforce:</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The standard Z06 features
a front splitter, spats around the front wheel openings, a unique carbon-fiber
hood with a larger vent, and a rear spoiler</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">An available carbon-fiber
aero package – in either black or a visible carbon-fiber finish – adds a carbon
fiber front splitter with aviation-style winglets, carbon fiber rocker panels,
and a larger rear spoiler with a fixed wickerbill, which combine to create true
aerodynamic downforce</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The available Z07 package add
larger winglets to the front splitter, along with an adjustable, see-through
center section on the rear spoiler for track use. With this package, the
Corvette Z06 delivers the most aerodynamic downforce of any production car GM
has tested.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The
exterior design also reflects the increased cooling required for the new
Corvette Z06. For example, the mesh pattern on the front fascia was
painstakingly designed to deliver the most possible airflow to the
supercharger’s intercooler heat exchanger, so much so that the mesh grill
directs more air into the engine bay than if the grille was removed. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The
unique grille also features dedicated brake-cooling intakes and wider grille
outlets on the bottom serve as air diffusers. The grille is complemented with a
larger hood vent, which vents hot air from the engine compartment and
contributes to downforce by allowing air driven through the grille to exit
through the hood rather than being forced under the car, which could create
lift. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Additional
cooling elements include larger front fender vents and unique air blades over
the inlets on the rear fenders of Coupe models, which force about 50 percent
more air into the cooling ducts for the transmission and differential coolers
than those on the Stingray. Convertible models feature under-body inlets. To
cope with the additional airflow, Z06 Coupe and Convertible also have larger rear-fascia
openings than the Stingray. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Standard
front and rear brake-cooling ducts, including Z06-signature rear ducts
integrated in front of the rear fender openings, are also part of the
functional design changes over Stingray models.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Ten exterior colors
are offered: Laguna Blue Tintcoat, Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic, Corvette
Racing Yellow Tintcoat, Arctic White, Blade Silver Metallic, Black, Shark Gray
Metallic, Long Beach Red Metallic Tintcoat, Torch Red and Night Race Blue
Metallic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Convertible
considerations<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The
seventh-generation Corvette Z06’s aluminum structure is 20 percent stiffer than
the previous, fixed-roof Z06. As there are no structural reinforcements needed
for the Z06 Convertible, it has a nearly identical curb weight as the Z06 Coupe.
They also share the same chassis tuning, powertrain output, driver technologies
and equipment options – including the track-focused Z07 Performance Package. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Like the structure, there are only minor design changes from the Z06 Coupe
to Convertible. The convertible features </span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">a fully electronic
top that can be lowered remotely using the car’s key fob. The top can also be
opened or closed on the go, at speeds of up to 30 mph (50 km/h).<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">With the top up, the Z06 Convertible is designed
for a refined driving experience. A thick fabric top – offered in four colors –
with sound-absorbing padding and a glass rear window contribute to a quiet
cabin and premium appearance. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">With the top down, the Corvette’s signature profile
is further accentuated. Behind the seat backs, dual Carbon Flash-painted or
available carbon fiber accent panels enhance the character lines of the tonneau
cover. Corvette Stingray’s signature “waterfall” design originates in the
valley between the nacelles, bringing the exterior color into the interior. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The power-operated tonneau cover necessitated moving the air intakes for
the differential and transmission coolers, from the rear quarter panels on the
Z06 Coupe to the underbody of the Z06 Convertible. Otherwise, both models share
the same, performance-driven aesthetic.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Inside,
the Corvette Z06 is distinguished from the Corvette Stingray by unique color
schemes that emphasize the driver-focused cockpit, and a unique, flat-bottomed
steering wheel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Like
the Stingray, the Z06 will be offered with two seating choices: a GT seat, for
all-around comfort, and a Competition Sport seat with more aggressive side
bolstering, which provides greater support on the track. The frame structure
for both seats is made of magnesium, for greater strength. They’re also more
rigid, contributing to the enhanced feeling of support during performance
driving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</ul>
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The
Z06 also benefits from interior details designed for high-performance driving,
first introduced on the Stingray, including a steel-reinforced grab bar on the
center console for the passenger and soft-touch materials on the edge of the
console, where the driver naturally braces during high-load cornering.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Supercharged performance</span></b><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The heart of the Corvette Z06 is the all-new LT4
6.2L supercharged V-8 engine, expected to deliver an SAE-certified 650
horsepower (485 kW) and 650 lb-ft of torque (881 Nm). To balance performance
and efficiency, the LT4 leverages the same trio of advanced technologies
introduced on the Corvette Stingray: direct injection, Active Fuel Management,
or cylinder deactivation, and continuously variable valve timing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">These technologies – combined with the
fuel-efficient multi-speed transmissions, aerodynamic design and lightweight
construction – help make the new Z06 surprisingly fuel efficient. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">To maintain the Z06’s mass and performance targets,
the LT4 engine was designed with a more-efficient, more-compact supercharger.
Even with its integrated supercharger/intercooler assembly mounted in the
valley between the cylinder heads, the engine is only about one inch (25 mm)
taller than the Corvette Stingray’s LT1 engine – while delivering nearly 37
percent more horsepower and 40 percent more torque.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">

<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A 1.7L
supercharger spins at up to 20,000 rpm – 5,000 rpm more than the supercharger
on the Corvette ZR1’s engine. The rotors are smaller in diameter, which
contributes to their higher-rpm capability – and enables them to produce
power-enhancing boost earlier in the rpm band. That boost is achieved more
efficiently via a more direct discharge port that creates less turbulence,
reducing heat and speeding airflow into the engine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The LT4 engine

<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The supercharged
LT4 is offered with a standard seven-speed manual transmission with Active Rev
Match or the 8L90 eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission designed to
enhance both performance and efficiency. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The seven-speed manual incorporates rev-matching
technology for upshifts and downshifts. This driver-selectable feature can be
easily engaged or disengaged via paddles on the steering wheel. The seven-speed
is used with a new dual-mass flywheel and dual-disc clutch, which deliver
greater shift quality and feel through lower inertia.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The eight-speed automatic is tuned for world-class
shift-response times, and smaller steps between gears keep the LT4 within the
sweet spot of the rpm band, making the most of the output of the supercharged
engine for exhilarating performance and greater efficiency. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">For performance driving, the transmission offers
full manual control via steering wheel paddles, and unique algorithms to
deliver shift performance that rivals the dual-clutch/semi-automatic
transmissions found in many supercars – but with the smoothness and refinement
that come with a conventional automatic fitted with a torque converter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In fact, the 8L90’s controller analyzes and
executes commands 160 times per second, and wide-open throttle upshifts are
executed up to eight-hundredths of a second quicker than those of the
dual-clutch transmission offered in the Porsche 911.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Featuring four gearsets and five clutches, creative
packaging enables the GM-developed eight-speed automatic to fit the same space
as the six-speed automatic in the Corvette Stingray. Extensive use of aluminum
and magnesium make it more than eight pounds (4 kg) lighter than the six-speed.
Along with design features that reduce friction, the 8L90 is expected to
contribute up to 5-percent greater efficiency, when compared with a six-speed
automatic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The
Corvette Z06 leverages the technologies introduced on the Corvette Stingray,
including the strategic use of lightweight materials and advanced driver
technologies, with unique features and calibrations tailored for its
capabilities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Its aluminum frame is produced in-house at General Motors’ Bowling Green
assembly plant. It’s the same robust, lightweight frame used on the Corvette
Stingray and it is used essentially unchanged for the C7.R race cars. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The stiffer design of the aluminum frame allows the Corvette Z06 to be
offered with a removable roof panel for the first time. With the lightweight,
carbon fiber roof panel removed, the new Corvette Z06 offers 20 percent more
structural rigidity than the previous model’s fixed-roof design. It is 60 percent
stiffer than the previous model with the roof panel installed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The new Z06 retains the SLA-type front and rear suspension design of the
Corvette Stingray but is uniquely calibrated for the higher performance threshold.
The third-generation Magnetic Selective Ride Control dampers are standard on
Z06. They can be adjusted for touring comfort or maximum track performance via
the standard Driver Mode Selector. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The smart electronic limited-slip differential, or eLSD, is standard on
the Z06 to make the most of the torque split between the rear wheels. The
system features a hydraulically actuated clutch that can infinitely vary clutch
engagement and can respond from open to full engagement in tenths of a second.
It shifts torque based on a unique algorithm that factors in vehicle speed, steering
input and throttle position to improve steering feel, handling balance and
traction.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Performance Data Recorder<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The award-winning,
industry-first Performance Data Recorder – or PDR – enables users to record
high-definition video, with telemetry overlays, of their driving experiences on
and off the track. It was developed with Cosworth, the motorsports-engineering
company that supplies the Corvette Racing team’s data acquisition and telemetry
electronics system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The PDR system includes three major components, all
seamlessly integrated into the Corvette Z06’s interior. First is a
high-definition camera, mounted within the windshield header trim, which
records the driver’s point-of-view through the windshield. Audio is recorded
via a dedicated microphone in the cabin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Body1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 1;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Second is a
self-contained telemetry recorder, which uses a dedicated GPS receiver that operates
at 5 hertz, or cycles per second – five times faster than the in-dash
navigation system, which allows more precise positioning and corner traces.
Finally, the system features a dedicated SD-card slot in the glove box for
recording and transferring video and vehicle data (SD card not included). <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Recording time depends on the capacity of the
memory card, but an 8-gigabyte card can record approximately 200 minutes, while
a 32-GB card stores up to about 800 minutes – more than 13 hours of driving
time. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The PDR system can record video with three data
overlay options, each rendered in real time:</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Track Mode</span></b><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> –

g-force, a location-based map, lap time and more.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

</li>

</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Performance Mode </span></b><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">– records performance metrics, such as 0 to 60 mph acceleration,
1/4-mile speed and elapsed time, and 0-100-0 mph runs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The video can be viewed on the Corvette Z06’s eight-inch color
touchscreen when the car is parked, or downloaded to a computer for further
editing, and sharing video via social media sites. </span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">For users who want a more in-depth understanding of their performance,
the PDR vehicle data can be opened in the included “Cosworth Toolbox” software,
which combines Cosworth’s professional-level motorsport data analysis with an
easy-to-use graphic interface.<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Along with all
that’s new with the 2016 Corvette Stingray, it carries over an unmatched
combination of performance and efficiency. Power comes from the 6.2L LT1 V-8
rated at an SAE-certified 455 horsepower (339 kW) and 460 lb-ft of torque (624
Nm) – and 460 horsepower (343 kW) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) with the available
performance exhaust system. The LT1 engine is offered with a seven-speed manual
transmission with Active Rev Match and a paddle-shift eight-speed automatic
transmission that offers quick shifts on par with the world’s best dual-clutch
transmissions – delivered with the smoothness unique to a transmission with a
torque converter. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Stingray’s powertrain enables manual-transmission Z51-equipped models able to
accelerate from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds – 3.7 seconds with the eight-speed
automatic – and run the quarter-mile in 12 seconds at 119 mph, while the
Corvette’s chassis and suspension features contribute to 1.03g in cornering
grip and stop from 60 mph in 107 feet.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Corvette Stingray’s provocative exterior styling is
as functional as it is elegant. It makes a bold design statement that embraces
the advanced technology of the car, while enhancing its overall performance in
everything from the wind tunnel to the track. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Lighting is a signature element of the Corvette
Stingray’s design and reinforces its high-tech aesthetic. At the front,
indirect white LED lamps form a distinctive daytime styling cue. They are set
in black-chrome lamp housings with standard HID projector headlamps. The turn
signals feature edge-lit amber LED lighting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The dual-element taillamps feature three-dimensional,
sculpted lenses housing innovative indirect LED lighting. The state-of-the-art
lighting uses hidden LED lamps that cast their light up from the bottom of the
housing into a reverse reflector, creating an even glow. LED lamps are also
used for the white backup lamps. The taillamps integrate functional
aircraft-style air outlets for the available differential and transmission
coolers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The <span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Corvette </span>Stingray convertible features a fully electronic top that
can be lowered remotely using the key fob. The top can also be opened or closed
on the go, at speeds of up to 30 mph (50 km/h). Its folding mechanism is
all-new and enables the top to be lowered in 21 seconds.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">With the top up, the convertible is designed for a
refined driving experience. A thick fabric top, along with sound-absorbing
padding and a glass rear window, contributes to a quiet cabin and premium
appearance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">With the top down, the Corvette Stingray’s
signature profile is further accentuated. Behind the seat backs, dual black
trim panels enhance the character lines of the tonneau cover. Corvette
Stingray’s signature “waterfall” design originates in the valley between the
seats, bringing the exterior color into the interior.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">All Corvette
Stingray models with the Z51 Performance Package feature integral coolers for
the rear differential and transmission (the transmission cooler is also
included with the optional automatic transmission). For coupe models, the air
intakes are integrated on the rear quarter panels; and on convertible models,
the air intakes are integrated into the underbody. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Airflow through
the differential and transmission heat exchangers exits through the
aircraft-inspired taillamp vents and lower-rear fascia air outlets. The Z51
Performance Package also includes brake-cooling ducts, a unique rear spoiler
and additional air deflectors for enhanced track capability. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Corvette Stingray interior blends fine
materials and craftsmanship with advanced technologies that contribute to a
more connected and more engaging driving experience. Every feature and detail
is designed to enhance the driver’s connection to the Corvette, starting with
the fighter jet-inspired wraparound cockpit and continuing with supportive
seats and high-definition, configurable screens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A comparatively small, 14.1-inch-diameter (360 mm)
steering wheel – with a new flat-bottom design – fosters a more direct,
immediate feel to directional inputs. The attention to the driver extends to
the smallest details, including the flat, precise stitching on the steering
wheel designed to provide a smooth, consistent feel. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Precise and elegant stitching also is seen in the
available Napa leather trim on the seats. Two seating choices are offered: a GT
seat for all-around comfort and a Competition Sport seat with more aggressive
side bolstering that provides greater support on the track. The frame structure
for both seats is made of magnesium for greater strength. Several trim
combinations are offered for the seats:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">At the core of the Corvette Stingray’s
driver-focused technologies is the cockpit-mounted Driver Mode Selector, which
allows drivers to optimize the car for their driving preference and road
conditions via five settings: Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport and Track. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Tour mode is the default setting for everyday
driving; Weather mode is designed primarily for added confidence while driving
in rain and snow; Eco mode is for achieving optimal fuel economy; Sport mode is
for spirited road driving and Track mode is for track use. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: ArialMT;">The frame’s strength and low weight are complemented by chassis
elements also designed for low-mass strength, including hollow-cast aluminum
front and rear cradles. Innovative use of materials also includes a standard
carbon fiber hood on all Corvette Stingray models, and a carbon fiber roof
panel on all coupes. In addition, underbody panels are created with carbon-nano
composite technology, an</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> advanced blend of traditional composite material
and carbon fiber for reduced weight and improved strength. Fenders, doors, rear

<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Corvette Stingray’s 455 horses are generated by the LT1 6.2L Small
Block V-8 engine, which also produces 460 lb-ft of torque (624 Nm). Its performance
comes from combining advanced technologies such as direct injection, Active
Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and continuously variable valve timing
with an advanced combustion system. Z51-equipped models include a dry-sump
oiling system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The LT1 is backed by a choice of active,
2.75-inch-diameter exhaust systems. The standard system features a pair of
butterfly valves that contribute to greater refinement at cruising speeds when
the engine is operating in fuel-saving V-4 mode. The available performance variable-mode
active exhaust system has two additional valves that open to a
lower-restriction path through the mufflers. When open, these valves increase
engine performance and produce a more powerful exhaust note – while also
raising the engine’s output to 460 horsepower (343 kW) and 465 lb-ft of torque
(630 Nm).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

National Corvette Museum is hosting a special "Car Part Art"
exhibit September 18, 2015 through January 8, 2016 featuring works
created from recycled car parts. Applications to exhibit are now being accepted
with a $20 fee. Artists have until July 31 to apply to participate,
and finished works will be accepted August 1 until August 31.
Schools, businesses, non-profits, teams and individual artists are invited to
submit ideas for consideration.<br />
<br />
"We have seen a number of cool pieces of art made from everything from hub
caps to tires and thought that doing our own exhibit would be a great way to
not only convert trash to treasure, but also create an amazing display in our
Exhibit Hall," said Katie Frassinelli, Museum Marketing & Communications
Manager.<br />
<br />
The Museum is working with guest curator Andee Rudloff to secure artists and
develop the exhibit. "The response to this exhibit from the arts community
has been great! I think visitors will be impressed with the caliber of works on
display," Rudloff added.<br />
<br />
Rudloff will also be working to secure around ten featured artists for the
exhibit. Sponsorships are available for the featured pieces, and the sponsor
businesses have the option to display the piece after the Museum's exhibit
closes in January.<br />
<br />
Artists and businesses interested in getting involved can visit <a href="http://www.carpartart.org/"><span style="color: #0563c1;">www.carpartart.org</span></a> to view and
download information and registration forms.<br />
<br />
In addition to the contest and featured works, the Museum has partnered with
Michelin, the Official Tire of the National Corvette Museum and NCM Motorsports
Park, to display several entries from the InTIREnational Art Contest. The
contest, held in Upstate, South Carolina, near Michelin’s headquarters in
Greenville, challenged schools, businesses and nonprofits to convert ordinary,
scrap tires into extraordinary works of art. Michelin awarded $10,000 to two
local charities on behalf of the winning artworks. The works to be displayed
include an Eiffel Tower, dragon, Nelson Mandela sculpture and more.<br />
<br />
The National Corvette Museum, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is located at 350
Corvette Drive in Bowling Green, KY just off I-65 exit 28 and is open
daily, 8am to 5pm CT.

</tbody></table>
Often referred to as the world's largest moving automotive event, the National Corvette Caravan is a celebration of America's Sports Car, culminating in Bowling Green, Kentucky for the anniversary celebration of the National Corvette Museum. Hosted only once every five years, the next event is slated for Labor Day Weekend 2019 and will mark the Museum's 25th Anniversary. Leading the charge will be Jeffrey Duda of Hainesport, NJ, a Lifetime Member of the Museum and previous co-captain of the New Jersey 2014 and 2009 Caravans.<br />
<br />
"As soon as I returned from the 2009 Caravan, I began work on the 2014 NJ Caravan and again I was the Co-Captain," Jeff said. "The advance planning paid off, as this Caravan was just spectacular with over 3,000 Corvettes from across the world joining the drive to Bowling Green to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the NCM. It was so much fun planning the event and others could see the enthusiasm I had. I was contacted by Paul Mariano, the National Caravan Chairman, and by Karen Renfrow, the Events Manager at the NCM and was asked to become the 2019 Caravan National Chairman. It was a task that I was honored and humbled to accept the position," Jeff added.<br />
<br />
Jeff has been a Corvette fan all of his life, hearing stories from his dad about the 1962 he once owned, and becoming an owner himself in 2001 when he purchased a triple black 1998 convertible. "I bought my first Corvette as a celebration of my wife graduating with her Master’s degree in nursing which also happened to be just after the tragedy in the USA on September 11, 2001. My thinking was life’s too short not to enjoy every moment and we both loved Corvettes," Jeff recalled. "Soon after buying that Corvette we joined the NCM as members." <br />
<br />
Just two years later in 2003, Jeff and wife Phyllis drove their Corvette to Bowling Green and Nashville as part of the 2nd National Corvette Caravan and the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Corvette. Jeff has been involved in his local club, The Original Garden State Corvette Club, serving as President for four years, and has been on the club's board for over 10 years. He is also active on Corvette Forum. <br />
<br />
Jeff and Phyllis have a 6-year old daughter, Noelle, who they enjoy sharing their Corvette passion with. "My goal now is to bring along the next generation to see the joys of Corvette ownership and get them involved with America's Sports Car," Jeff said. "It's my hope to be that guy that takes some young person for their first ride in a Corvette, just like my family friend did when I climbed into his 1978 Corvette, and make an impression that lasts a lifetime, sparking the Corvette passion it did for me."<br />
<br />
The 6th National Corvette Caravan is slated for August 28-31, 2019. Regional caravans will form and join other caravans as they travel across the United States to meet in Bowling Green, Kentucky for four days of festivities at the National Corvette Museum. An event such as this requires years of planning and coordinating. All help is appreciated! If you would like to volunteer to be a Caravan Captain, please email Jeff at nationalchairman2019@verizon.net. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">With nearly 300 Corvette clubs totaling over 17,000 members in
the U.S., the National Council of Corvette Clubs is the largest non-profit, all
volunteer Corvette organization in the country. The mission of the group is
simple – promote Corvette ownership, but even more-so, encourage others to participate
in the enjoyment of using the car. When the NCM Motorsports Park opened, NCCC
President Dave Heinemann saw an opportunity for their organization to get more
use out of their cars while encouraging visits to the National Corvette Museum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At his first official meeting as President of NCCC, Dave
presented to the board the idea of sponsoring a garage at the NCM Motorsports
Park. “Having a sponsorship of a garage at the track is a great way to get our
name out in front of Corvette owners who like to have fun with their car,” Dave
said. “We use the car, not just show it. I see this as a collaboration and an
opportunity for not only us to grow our membership, but for the Museum to grow
theirs as well.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">NCCC will be hosting their first event at the Museum and
Motorsports Park Memorial Day weekend, providing three-days of Corvette fun at
both facilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The event is sold out,
and according to Dave, participants are coming from 15-20 states or more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I’m a firm believer in the Museum. There is
nothing else like it in the world, yet our organizations have a lot in common,”
Dave said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“We complement each other and
I wanted to be a part of the excitement that’s been grown at the Museum and
track.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As President of the NCCC, Dave also represents the organization
on the National Corvette Museum’s Board of Directors. Even prior to that, Dave
joined the Museum as a Lifetime Member and also took delivery of he and wife

2013 and 2014 were record years for car donations at the National Corvette Museum, with 13 being received last year, and 12 in 2013 bringing the grand total of Museum-owned Corvettes to 62. For several years the goal has been to launch a department focused solely on maintenance and upkeep of these prized Corvettes. That goal is now a reality.<br />
<br />
Phillip Wheeler and Daniel Decker have joined the Museum's new Vehicle Maintenance and Preservation Department, dedicated to maintaining cars for both the Museum and Motorsports Park.<br />
<br />
Phil, the department manager, is excited about the opportunity. "When I was invited to join the team, it became clear very quickly that I was a part of a family. I have a lifelong love for cars and a passion for preservation and restoration that makes this a dream job. I am happy to be here."<br />
<br />
With over 100 cars of his own (40 that are housed in his personal showroom) Phil knows how to maintain a collection of cars and looks forward to taking care of the Museum's treasured Corvettes. "We will be going over every car that has been donated to the Museum, and begin a new maintenance record for each one, making sure they are fully serviced and drivable - checking for any leaks or other issues that need to be addressed. In addition to that, we'll be making sure that the fleet of cars at the track are safe, serviced and always ready to go."<br />
<br />
Daniel has been restoring and working on cars for the last 27 years of his life. He has ASE certification in steering, suspension and brakes, he's been to paint school in Chicago, and for several years he ran the Midas shop in Bowling Green. The portfolio of cars he has restored in his own shop is a reflection of his passion for cars. "I'm excited to be here. This is a new program so we have a lot of work ahead of us. Once it is up and running, I feel like it is going to be great."<br />
<br />
The Museum's maintenance department will initially be located just past the Engineering and Design display area, in what was once the PDI Department. Visitors to the Museum may periodically see Phil and Daniel working in the garage bay, adding another exciting element to the Museum tour experience. They are also looking forward to meeting Museum members and guests. "To anyone thinking of donating their cars to the Museum," Phil says, "I want them to know that their cars will be in good hands."Corvette Museumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12538355697034588095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5135401543615212615.post-37317609445958901022015-03-25T16:21:00.000-05:002015-03-25T16:21:13.339-05:00National Corvette Museum Foundation Receives 2015 State Farm Grant<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">State Farm has awarded the National Corvette Museum, a
501(c)(3) non-profit foundation, with a Good Neighbor Citizenship grant for
their teen drivers’ education programs. The Museum plans to utilize the $15,000
grant towards materials and supplies for teen driving and other drivers’
education courses held at the NCM Motorsports Park.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Kellie Steen, Education & Community Events Coordinator
at the National Corvette Museum, is looking forward to using the State Farm Grant
to continue developing the courses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Each year we work to grow and develop the programs we offer
for teens and their parents, and the funding from State Farm will allow us to
offer more digital technology in the classroom to keep the kids engaged,” said
Steen. “The new resources will also be available for the high performance
driving events hosted at the track, which combine the educational side of
driving with the recreational side,” Steen added. “We want mom and dad to be
safe drivers, too!”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">State Farm provides grants in three areas: safety, community
development and education. The National Corvette Museum provides numerous
courses in regards to teen driver education, auto and roadway safety,<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> which are values that State Farm directs funding towards with

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For the past five years the National Corvette Museum has
hosted an automotive-themed “Vette Camp” to introduce kids to the world of cars
and Corvette. This summer, the Museum has teamed up with the Edelbrock Family
Foundation to bring not one, but five camps combining cars with other exciting
themes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“We have a lot of repeat campers each summer, so we decided
to come up with some themed day-long camps to provide variety while still
offering some of the favorite automotive activities,” said Museum Education
Coordinator, Kellie Steen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“We think
this summer’s camps will attract new campers to the Museum, and give kids the
opportunity to pick and choose their favorite topics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will also give us the opportunity to host
a lot more kids than we have in the past.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The themes of the camp include Minecraft (July 9 and 30),
Sinkhole Science (July 20), Superhero Science (July 27), and Wild Weather (July
31). In addition to the themed activities, campers will have the opportunity to
ride in a Corvette, tour the GM Bowling Green Assembly Plant and/or participate
in a discussion and Q&A with a Corvette Plant engineer. Each camp is 8:00
a.m. until 4:00 p.m. C.T. with early drop off and late pickup available. The
cost is $45 per child, per camp and online registration is available at
<a href="http://www.corvettemuseum.org/">www.corvettemuseum.org</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Edelbrock Family Foundation was formed with the purpose
of bringing together like-minded organizations that share a passion for
providing education and training for America’s youth. “We hope to foster a new
generation of automotive industry leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, enthusiasts
and more,” said Vic Edelbrock, Jr.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Edelbrock Family Foundation also supports Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine
Challenge, Campus Cruisers, Automotive Education Alliance, Patriot Outreach and

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In addition to the summer camps, the funding supports the
Museum’s drivers’ education programs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
2009 the Museum purchased two educational driving simulators, offering hands-on
learning for drivers of all ages. Today, the Museum’s Drivers’ Safety Academy
offers a number of courses, from Tire Rack Street Survival to Car Control and
Situational Awareness Clinics, older driver courses through AARP, Powder Puff
Mechanics and International Driving classes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Programs utilize facilities at the Museum and NCM Motorsports Park,

On February 12, 2014, eight classic Chevrolet Corvettes were swallowed by a sinkhole that opened up beneath the Skydome of the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. A year later, the technology used to survey the sinkhole and surrounding areas nets local company EnSafe an award.<br />
<br />
"Every year the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) - Tennessee Chapter issues an award for engineering excellence," said Ric Federico, Senior Project Manager in the Bowling Green, Kentucky office of EnSafe, Inc. "For our work in mapping the cave without drilling into it from the surface, the EnSafe NCM microgravity project was entered into the Surveying and Mapping Technology category where it won the Grand Award."<br />
<br />
EnSafe provided support in evaluating potential environmental and safety concerns in the Museum's Skydome during initial response activities, and subsequently designed and conducted a microgravity survey to evaluate the extent of the void and aid in identifying other potential karst features beneath the Skydome. EnSafe worked with Western Kentucky University (WKU) professors from the Department of Geography and Geology, who entered the void and prepared a cave map, which revealed excellent correlation between the microgravity data and the actual cave dimensions.<br />
<br />
"We worked closely with WKU, Hayward Baker, and Scott, Murphy, Daniel early on and throughout the project to help the National Corvette Museum evaluate the problem and potential remedies, and we are pleased that our project and data were of value to the project team in developing and refining the micropile strategy," said Federico.<br />
<br />
Geotechnical firm Hayward Baker is currently finalizing micropile installation and the Skydome construction is on track to be complete in July.Corvette Museumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12538355697034588095noreply@blogger.com
