All of the parts that make up a Corvette are delivered here and come out the other side as beautiful new gorgeous Corvettes. Unfortunately, they do not allow cameras -- or even cell phones -- in the plant, so I cannot share any of the neat stuff we saw. They usually run tour groups of 25 people through at a time, but for some reason, today was not a big tour day. There were only 7 of us in our group. I think our guide Marcus enjoyed having a small group of people. We had a very leisurely and informative tour.
Across the road from the Assembly Plant is the National Corvette Museum --
The Museum does allow photography. They not only had many Corvettes on display, but they also had several dioramas showing historic episodes.
All of the sculptures in the dioramas are life-size and solid white --
The museum also had a few General Motors antique vehicles on display. I got a kick out of this early produce vendor's pick-up truck --
After we hiked around the Assembly Plant and then the Museum, we were both pooped. We stopped at a Bob Evans restaurant on the way home for country-fried steaks, then came home and crashed!
