Now, here are two very cool pieces of Corvette history. Check out the final two 1955 Corvettes built – VINs #699 and #700. What’s even better? They both feature 3-speed transmissions, Harvest Gold paint, and green interiors. Even more interesting is the fact that they’ve been together since new. This dynamic duo is currently being offered for sale through Corvette Mike.
This week we are out in Las Vegas to drive the new 2020 Corvette Stingray and overall the car has so far lived up to the hype. We’ll have more on that later this week. During a couple of the presentations from Chevrolet and Corvette Team Members, we got this interesting stat about remaining 2019 Corvettes.

As we get closer and closer to the days when customer deliveries start for the C8 Corvettes, we are still tracking various sightings of the Captured Test Fleet cars that are being driven by GM engineers.
A member of the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com resides in Michigan near GM’s Milford Proving Grounds and has seen many different C8 Corvettes coming and going. And while he has resisted the urge to track them all down, forum member “Plemley” spied this Elkhart Lake Blue Stingray Coupe with the High Wing parked outside of “Proving Grounds Coffee” and decided to snap a few photos. That’s when he ran into the GM engineer who is the driver of this fine machine and the two ended up having a conversation about it despite the fact that temperatures were in the negatives…
A recent study by QuoteWizard Insurance found that the Chevrolet Corvette is one of the least accident-prone vehicles on the road.
While we’re sure that Chevy’s attention to making the Corvette one of the best handling cars on the planet had something to do with this rating, we figure that the maturity of the drivers may have had a lot to do with it, too. After all, Chevy has been worried about the aging demographics of Corvette drivers for years, and with age, comes a bit more wisdom behind the wheel, even if the reflexes are a little slower.

On Saturday, we shared Byron Glover Jr.’s Drive 615 YouTube video featuring an Accelerate Yellow 2020 Corvette. Byron captured the video in the parking lots outside the Bowling Green Assembly Plant, but that video was just a sampling of the treasure chest full of 2020 Corvettes he found on site that day.

Our friend Byron Glover Jr. of the YouTube channel Drive 615 was up in Bowling Green, Kentucky on a beautiful Friday afternoon and was able to capture this walkaround video featuring the 2020 Corvette Stingray in Accelerate Yellow.
Most car enthusiasts can point to “the one that got away.” These vehicular obsessions can come about many different ways; maybe you were outbid at auction or you found a car just as someone else was buying it. It could even be a car that you actually owned but had to part ways with, leaving you with a deep sense of regret.

Thursday the 13th turned out to be as unlucky as Friday the 13th for the owner of a C2 Corvette in Washington state.
Residents in Pierce County, Washington are being asked to check out their home security camera footage to see if they might spot something that could help solve the theft of a red 1967 Corvette earlier this week.
Pierce County Sheriff’s Department tweeted out an alert for the car, saying that the Sting Ray was stolen by burglars targeting a home on 122nd Avenue East in the Puyallup area about 1:30 p.m. Thursday.

The Corvette’s collector license plate reads 58139.
Lawmen are asking residents in the area of 122nd Street East and Shaw Road East to check out security camera footage between 1 and 2 p.m. Thursday.
Maybe the thieves will “have a heart” and return the Corvette on Valentine’s Day.
