The Corvette is America’s quintessential sports car, fusing groundbreaking design with innovative engineering, always aiming to push the limits of performance. But to truly appreciate this automotive icon, one has to look beyond its performance and delve into its roots. The story of the Corvette is also the story of its birthplace—the assembly plants where this legendary car came to life.
Throughout its 70-year journey, three formative facilities have made their mark on Corvette: the original plant in Flint, Michigan, where it all started; the mid-century hub of St. Louis, Missouri, that saw the marque’s formative years; and the ultramodern Bowling Green, Kentucky, facility that has hosted Corvette assembly since 1981.
