Default You Are Invited to the Wixom PBC Open House

Hear ye, hear ye Z06 owners! There will be an Open House at Wixom on Thursday August 16!

All of our Corvette friends and enthusiasts are invited to tour our engine build facility and see the fine cars on display. As you know we build the high performance Chevy V8's found in the top of the line Corvettes. And perhaps you'll see some old friends and maybe meet some new friends too!

This will be a working Open House. The engine floor will be working as usual as we need to meet a normal build schedule. The schedule is tight and does not allow for a day of low production. So visitors will be welcomed and given a tour, but the tours may not be quite as extensive as in the past.

So if you'd like to see the Wixom Performance build center this will be a great time to do it. Maybe even meet your engine builder...

Should be many fine Corvettes and other muscle cars on display!

Here is a link to our web site for more info:

Many thanks to our great Corvette friends for keeping the enthusiasm!!

Don,

That sucks that you guys are just on the wrong side of the country for me

It would be nice to meet you and my engine builder(S)

My second motor is running great and I still have the poster you sent up in my garage.

**Would have been good to hook up with you too Ricky ...... I expect you to return with some useful NEW info!!!!**


DH

I've driven there twice for this during Woodward Dream Cruise week and had a great time. I'm driving there again next month. Thanks for having this again.

I plan on attending, look forward to this and all the events that week. Wonder if I can just schedule it as a meeting rather than using a half day, all the same company right? I think if I leave the rencen at 11:30 I should get there right at noon. Can't wait.

I will be leaving Bloomfield Hills to drive home two days before that. Wish I could make it there as it sounds like fun but the timing is wrong.

My wife and I made this tour during the Woodward Cruise week.

Met our engine builder and toured the plant.

What a great time !

Thank you for the hospitality.
