2005 Corvettes Ship
Corvette Assembly Plant Ships the First Batch
BY: Bobbie Jo Lee - National Corvette Museum
Today, the Corvette Assembly Plant will ship the first batch of
C6 Corvette Coupes to many dealerships throughout the United
States. The first “batch” is reported to have approximately 70
Corvettes ready with others to follow soon. "This is an
exciting day for the Corvette community and for the Bowling
Green Assembly Plant," said Wil Cooksey, plant manager. "Our
plant is committed to building the highest quality, most precise
and powerful sports cars for our customers."
The plant will continue to accelerate to its production build
schedule this fall. "This is a memorable day in Corvette
history. It marks the start of the sixth generation of a great
legacy," said Dave Hill, chief engineer of the Corvette and
vehicle line executive for GM Performance Cars. "The 2005
Chevrolet Corvette delivers more power, passion and precision to
reach a new standard of performance car excellence."
“We have already started receiving calls about scheduling R8C
Museum Deliveries for these new Corvettes,” stated NCM Museum
Delivery Program Manager, Gary Cockriel. “However, we have not
received any cars yet. We appreciate everyone’s patience while
the details are being worked out, and look forward to seeing
many excited new Corvette owners at the Museum soon.”
