I saw this the first day that it went up. I believe that it is taken from one of the GM billboards that appeared in Detroit some years ago. there is a forum vendor that has reproductions of about five or six billboards GM has used over the years.

I know someone here has the history on the original GM Billboards.

I applaud Mark Heitz for using the slogan, sometimes we forget how important the Corvette is Amercan automotive history

It's a great idea, and the billboard looks great! In fact, it's my new background on my phone

That's pretty cool AND I love your Grand Sport. It's the first time I've seen those wheels where I actually liked them. Maybe it's that yours are the painted version.
Whatever it is, that car looks terrific.
