Millionth Corvette restored to its former glory

Chevrolet restored the 1 millionth Corvette

While in Saturday morning cartoons the speedy Road Runner always seems to escape Wile E. Coyote, the equally-fast millionth Corvette was not so lucky. When a sinkhole opened beneath the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky last February, it swallowed up eight exceedingly rare Corvettes, including the millionth one ever made. Fortunately for automotive history, Chevrolet successfully restored the 1 millionth Corvette and in the process uncovered valuable history hidden beneath the sports car’s crumpled white exterior.

When Chevy restoration experts took apart the vehicle they discovered that each employee involved in building the millionth Corvette left their signature on some piece of the car. Even beyond the manufacturing milestone that the Corvette represents, those signatures make it an irreplaceable piece of Chevrolet history.

The Corvette, a 1992 white convertible with red upholstery, suffered severe damage to the hood, front fascia, and lower panels , as well as several engine supports. Replacement parts where taken from another Corvette of the same model year and color in order to maintain the authenticity of the vehicle. The forward exhaust system and rear fascia would have likely also been replaced because of the extensive damage except for the number of signatures covering those parts.

We at Broadway Automotive value a company with a long history of caring about its customers and employees. The painstaking restoration of this priceless Corvette and the beauty of the finished product highlight the quality craftsmanship and the pride that Chevrolet puts into every vehicle.
