Faith Hill's 1960 Corvette Offered for Sale This Weekend at the GAA Auction in Greensboro

Prince may have made “Little Red Corvettes” famous with his 1982 hit, but country artist Faith Hill could have done her share of crooning about Chevy’s legendary sports car, too.

For her 29th birthday on Sept. 21, 1996, her boyfriend and very-soon-to-be-husband Tim McGraw presented her with a nicely restored red-on-red 1960 Corvette convertible backstage at the Oregon Jamboree, a still-active country music and camping festival that began in 1992 as an economic development project for Sweet Home, Oregon.

MotorTrend Says a C8 Interior Redesign is Coming for the 2023 Corvette

We know that when C8 Corvette designers went to work on the mid-engine sportscars’ interior, there were lots of discussions regarding how the cockpit should be driver-focused. We also know that engineers wanted the ability to control the car’s functions not just through the center console display but also through physical buttons on the dash to control various cabin functions. The solution ended up being known by Corvette enthusiasts as the Great Wall of Buttons which serves as the C8’s unique way to access the car’s HVAC controls.
