Corvette: An American Icon

For 54 years, Corvette has been a symbol of the quintessential American sports car. It's come a long way since its debut in 1953. During my tour of the GM Heritage Center in Sterling Heights, Mich., HC Manager Greg Wallace introduced me to several models of this icon, including the '58 roadster, the '63 split windshield as well as the concepts Mako Shark, Manta Ray and AeroVette, and many others. Enjoy!

The Mako Shark was from 1961, which eventually led to the Stingray of '63 to '67.

I wouldn't mind having a job there keeping the cars running. :D I might still like the car business if I did.

The 73 aerovette concept has to be one of the top 3 greatest car designs to come out of America...along with the ford gt40 and the Chaparral 2D.

I wonder if its still in Michigan?
