Americarna's Corvette Episode
Absolutely, bar none, the coolest corvette show I've ever seen (and I'm only half done with it, paused on DVR). It's being broadcast now on Velocity. I had to spread the word IMMEDIATELY.
Rick Hendrick leads a tour of his collection and GM, then to Bowling Green. Amazing.
If you get a chance to see it or order it at any point, make sure you do.

That might be three rings of heaven for a corvette owner: Hendricks collection, then the GM designing element with Harley Earl's Jetson like office, and then Bowling Green's museum and assembly plant.
If Corvette were a religion... That'd be a church, a cathedral, and the holy land.

My good friend and I got a private tour of the Hendricks Collection after he purchased a 69 427/435 Convertible last Thursday. We were able to spend about 4 hours looking around. Unbelievable! Hendricks is a Class Operation. The Vette was everything they advertised it to be.

Is it just me or does Rick Hendrick come off as a genuine "nice guy"?

I watched it on Tuesday night, and a few minutes in the first thing I thought of was, "Hmm.. wonder how quick this is going to be talked about on the forum."
Was really cool.

Great show. I'm thinking Mr. Hendricks own like C7 serial numbers 1 thru 6... If the plate on the 67' is correct (on the show) it looks like he also owns the last production 67' too! After seeing his collection - my collection of one lonely 70 Vert parked in a tight single car garage looks pretty sparse - even so it brings me happiness.

Now if you want to see a total POS show,Rods and Wheels has a Corvette episode apparently.Warning:this program is so unwatchable you will either turn the channel after three minutes or throw a brick at the tv,it is utterly the painful car show you may ever see,scripted BS reality at its worst.
