It was January 17, 1953 when the Chevrolet Corvette was first revealed to the public at the GM Motorama in the Waldorf Astoria in New York City and changed the American sports car market forever!

Sixty years later GM contacted Kerbeck Corvette (current owner of the EX-122) to bring that Motorama Experimental Prototype Corvette back to New York City to celebrate 60 years of Corvettes with the first, the EX-122 and the latest Corvette, the 2014 Corvette Stingray along with one Corvette from each generation!

The next morning (January 17, 2013), the EX 122 and the 2014 Corvette Stingray were loaded and transported to studios of Fox New on 43rd St in New York City.



The cars were unloaded at 4:30 in the morning and started to be put into position for their debut together.

That’s not sunrise, that’s the lights from Fox News as Tadge Juechter joins the cast of Fox & Friends to talk about the 60 years of Corvette.






But wait, there’s more! When you see the 2014 Corvette taillights up close and in person, they’re absolutely magnificent!

...why does that C7 have to be so hot and gosh darn good looking. That red and black combination is a perfect match for my ZL1, well, it's free to dream anyway...they would look so bad ass together.

I freaking love this vette...haha I am seriously thinking I may sell the camaro and save up for one of these babies....Now time to convince this brilliant plan to the wife!

Amazing to see what 60 years has done to automotive design and technology! I'll take one of each!
