The Corvette factory will be producing the Stingray at the rate of 18 per hour...the last few years of the C6 had a production rate of 8 per hr. Criswell Chevrolet is the 3rd largest Corvette dealer in the Country so we will have the allocations. I am not marking them up from MSRP.

Funny how these stories get some small items wrong. Like the Stingray, introduced in 1962 not 1963. (as a 63' model). "And it's lower, wider, faster", than which model? It implies ALL models....wrong. Just a rehash of Corvette history we all should know by now.

Well, there's a word I've just about had enough of. I heard it several times in car commercials during the NFC Championship game. And now, at least twice with the new C7.

Maybe it will make that list of overused BS words that someone puts out every year.

SO, my vote goes to get rid of, "reimagining".

Pure semantics but you are correct, if you are telling a story to be seen by millions...have the facts straight.

Funny you say that, I had 11 Musclecars at the time(Aug 1988) and picked her up in a 1967 442 Convt in Aqua Metallic. It had won the Oldsmobile Grand Nationals the previous yr....plus it was a blind date...and meeting her parents at the same time.
