"Dreams. They sus ta in us , they spur us .Sometimes they simply help soften the roughedges of our days.
In that noble regard, CORVETTE has performedwith true distinction through the years. To ownsuch a fabled car as this one day, one time. Nowthat 's a dream that ranks wi th scal ing ta l lmountains and sailing wide seas. For most, forsure, it 's a dream that remains unfilled. Butremains, nonetheless.
There are just two seats. One for you, and one forher. Does a dreamer need more? CORVETTE.Not just a car, an inspiration. Sweet dreams!"
“In this ever-changing world, some things endure. A fine redwine. Soft smoke on an autumn evening. A walk along theseashore. And Chevrolet CORVETTE. And still America'sonly true production sports car.
Endurance can live side by side with improvement. Astrong tradition of CORVETTE roadability continues… Butbeyond the machinery, there is the dream - CORVETTE andthe open road. For thousands, that dream endures."
May all your CORVETTE dreams continue to be wonderful realities.
Dreaming on….Mike Blackburn,ACCC President
