Happy 70th Chevrolet! Time for a birthday luggage set...
Although there are some significant automotive anniversaries coming in 2022, Chevrolet is already looking one step ahead. It's a big one, too, as 2023 is 70 years since the firstwas made, and there's not another nameplate out there that's been in production as long. Remember both the 911 and Mustang didn't come along until the 1960s.
The first Corvette Z06 70th Anniversary Edition, VIN 001, is going to be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson on January 29th. Former Corvette racerwill drive the car onto the block, and the proceeds of the sale will go to Operation Homefront in the USA. Chevrolet has sponsored the charity for a few years, and organised similar sales in the past - the first C8 Corvette sold for $3m in 2020. It would be a surprise for the 70th Anniversary car to go for any less.
Those unable to spend million on a Corvette will be pleased to know that production of the anniversary car begins later in 2022, presumably at quite a lot less than that. In fact, every single buyer of any MY2023 Corvette will be able to join in the celebrations, as each one built will carry an interior plaque and rear window graphic to mark the occasion.
