Whereas the first production Corvette rolled off a Flint, Michigan, assembly line on June 30, 1953;

Whereas the Corvette is the most widely respected production sports car in United States history;

Whereas the Corvette is truly a symbol of American pride;

Whereas General Motors is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2008; and

Whereas the 30th of June would be an appropriate day to designate as `National Corvette Day': Now, therefore, be it

Good response ... I thought it was worth mentioning because there ought to be a bunch of activities next year as a result.

Yeah, they're busy as a bunch of beavers alright. The next thing they'll do is require these things to run on linseed oil.
