The Chevrolet Corvette is a high performance American sports car made by General Motors beginning in 1953. All of the 1953 Corvettes were made in Flint, Michigan with first two production units completed on June 30, 1953. The 1954 to 1981 Corvettes were made in St. Louis, Missouri. The last Corvette built at St. Louis was completed on August 1, 1981.

In 1981 there was a two month overlap in production of Corvettes as some were made in St. Louis and the remaining were made in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The first Corvette completed in the Bowling Green plant rolled off the line on June 1, 1981 and all Corvettes have been made there ever since. In 1983, only 44 Corvettes were built (no actual production run for that year) but only one of them still remains which is housed at the National Corvette Museum. The Corvette is considered America's premier sports car and has had one of the longest production runs of any car in history.

Thank You!
