They also say you can vote for the winner of People's Choice Award. The event will be held along Plaza Drive and City Hall lots (surface) ajacent to the Plaza.
The Corvette has become widely known as "America's Sports Car." Automotive News said that after 'starring' in the early 1960s television show Route 66, the Corvette became synonymous with freedom and adventure," ultimately becoming both "the most successful concept car in history and the most popular sports car in history.
It was in 1953 GM executive Myron Scott suggested the new Chevy sports car be named Corvette after the small maneuverable warship.
The role of the corvette class ship consisted mostly of coastal patrol, fighting minor wars, supporting large fleets, or participating in show-the-flag missions. America fell in love with the name.
Originally designed as a show car for the 1953 Motorama display at the New York Auto Show, it generated enough interest to induce GM to make a production version to sell to the public. First production was on June 30, 1953. Three hundred hand-built polo white Corvette convertibles were produced for the 1953 model year.
According to research by Specialty Equipment Market Association and Experian Automotive, as of 2009, there were approximately 750,000 Corvettes of all model years registered in the United States. Corvette owners were fairly equally distributed throughout the country, with the highest density in Michigan (3.47 per 1000 residents) and the lowest density in Utah, Mississippi, and Hawaii (1.66, 1.63, and 1.53 registrations per 1000 residents). 47% of them hold college degrees (significantly above the nationwide average of 27%), and 82% are between ages of 40 and 69 (median age being 53).
