DETROIT - At the June meeting of the Greater Atlanta Automotive Media
Association, Karen Rafferty, Chevrolet Product Marketing Director, today
announced the recent production of the 1,500,000th Corvette at GM Bowling Green
Assembly.
"The 1.5 millionth Corvette is a great example of how Chevy is
America's Brand," Rafferty said. "For nearly 60 years we have built
America's Sports Car and this milestone is a solid proof point."
The 1.5 millionth Corvette, built on May 28, is a white convertible 3LT with
red interior and black top (similar to the first, 500,000th and 1 millionth
Corvettes built in 1953, 1977 and 1992 respectively). The first Corvette rolled
off the assembly line on June 30, 1953.
Rafferty also announced pricing of the all-new 2010 Corvette Grand Sport.
Pricing for the Grand Sport coupe is $55,720 and GS convertible is $59,530.
Both prices include a $950 destination freight charge.
"The Corvette Grand Sport achieves a 0 - 60 time in less than four
seconds, pulls 1.0g on the skid pad and still boasts an impressive 26 highway
mpg," Rafferty said. "These numbers are unmatched by any of
Corvette's competitors."
