Back in 1979 when Corvettes were still being produced at the St. Louis factory, workers set a record for production by assembling 53,807 Corvettes for the model year. Now that we have the official stats for the 2023 model year, we can officially tell you that 1979 still owns the Corvette production record, while the 2023 model year is now second all-time with 53,785 cars produced. That’s a margin of just 22 cars to tie the all-time record and 23 to beat it.
We’ve been waiting a while for these numbers to come out, and as we have previously discussed, they were somewhat in dispute as Chevy was building the 2023 Corvettes without all the parts, and then retrofitting them as they became available. It wasn’t the best of circumstances for sure, but it kept the line moving and as far as we know, all who ordered a 2023 and had one built did receive their cars.

This new “car story” from the YouTube channel VINwiki details one such dealership in Madison, Wisconsin that rose to fame in the mid-1980s only to crash and burn under the weight of its own malfeasance by the 1998.

Last year, the Corvette Assembly Plant hosted 30,000 visitors who came to witness the building and assembly of America’s Favorite Sports car. So it came as quite a shock last month to learn that public tours will soon be coming to a temporary halt.
Bowling Green television station WBKO visited the Corvette Assembly Plant and talked with Plant Director Ray Theriault about the upcoming pause in public tours. The plant tours are scheduled to end on February 5th due to “manufacturing advancements,” and there is currently no date set for when it will re-open.

Corvettes for Sale: 1976 Corvette Offered on Craigslist for $8,750
Old-timers like me can remember when this 1976 Corvette was the “latest and greatest.” Indeed, a lot of people apparently agreed with us back then as a whopping 46,558 units left the St. Louis factory.
Unfortunately, time has proven this period of Corvette history to be more than a little lacking, especially in the areas of performance and build quality.
