After Chevrolet pulls the sheet of the 2014 Corvette C7 and its new cross-flag logo at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show early next year, the car will begin production in Bowling Green, Kentucky. And fortunately it will be just in time for summer.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2013 — that’s as early as July — the Bowling Green plant will begin birthing the first production C7 Corvettes, which will probably be auctioned off at the next Barrett-Jackson event. GM has already suspended tours of the Bowling Green plant until further notice so that the facility can begin the necessary preparations without any distractions, and to keep the looks of the next-gen Corvette secret.
For those looking to get a C6 built before the Bowling Green plant gets re-tooled, you have until December to place your order. That means if you want a 427 Convertible, a surefire collector’s car, you better hurry.

It’s gonna be identical to the stingray concept that was used in transformers 2
Leave it to GM to screw up a 60 year wet dream. Square tail lights, big plastic cheesie egg crate grill ; What a mess.
The back looks like a hatchback camaro. Nice separation and distinction for americas sports car…
If it was the goal of Welburn and Peters to design the ugliest rear end in GM history, they have succeeded. What a shame that in all other areas, weight reduction, interior improvement, personal tech / communications inside, engine, and likely suspension, the C7 is the best Corvette in history. That GM would then cover all of those improvements with a body is without a doubt the ugliest, nay, the only pure ugly corvette body design in history is irresponsible and despicable.
I think it’s going to look like a mix of the old Datsun 240Z and an old Buick Riviera…. GM seems to MISS THE BOAT every time ! They’re probably too busy trying to revive the Buick ROADMASTER WAGON !! OMG !
I have a single argument with the new C7; it’s Okay for the camaro to have Corvette tail lights but not for the Corvette to have camaro tail lites . And yes I have owned several of both and the Corvette MUST be King !.
