I have had three Corvettes during my life and the last one I flew to this factory in Bowling Green, KY (via Nashville, TN airport) and after a tour of the engineering, museum and factory drove it home. What a thrill.

I just love the smell of a new Corvette in the morning!

This video is 7 years old. I enjoyed watching them work and I enjoyed seeing the machines and the ways the cars are put together. Cool stuff.

Watching that video just made my day. I'm going down to the garage and giving my torch red on torch red 6 spd C5 a nice, big hug! Thanks team Corvette for building such beautiful cars. They are an iconic symbol of America!

Thanks Bowling Green for your great work. I love my Corvette.

Thank You ! My Union Brothers ! My Vette rolled out of your plant more than 29 years ago ! She still runs perfect ! It’s a testament to the quality of work you guys do every day there ! Every time I fire her up .... it still feels like the first day I took it off the showroom floor ! Thanks Again ! 🤙🏾

I have loved all Corvette's since a child! I have owned many including all the C's. I owned C-1, 1959, C-2 a 1967. All series, Since then. I just purchased a 2015 Corvette eight speed automatic. Of all the Corvettes of her own, this one seems to be the nicest. Incredible technology, incredible Agility, stability, and I hope reliability. For anyone that has never owned it the stingray Corvette, you will not be disappointed! This is the nicest Corvette of the produced! It's made to enjoy!

Such a Beautiful Sight!!!! ❤

Look how clean that floor is - Impressive.

Those machines are awesome! So impressive to see what they're moving around with seemingly little effort.

Went through the Corvette plant 25 years ago when the Museum opened. Very cool to see and a totally different car today. Looks like the same thing today with colors,you'll have a run of 10-15 come through that are red,then 10-15 that are black...etc,etc.

It's amazing how quickly these parts seem to fit together while the car is moving along down the line.

My ‘01 ragtop was born there 18 years ago. She still thinks tires are made to be lit 🔥up. Great job guys!

After watching Corvette assembly plant, was truly amazed n impressed with the workmanship that goes into assembling an American iconic car ! Hats off to the men n women that work there. Everyone there knew exactly what their jobs WERE. It was like a well orchestrated performance. They had to be precise into assembling the cars. At the same time NOT to even scratch it !!! AMAZIN! It comes right down to it: TEAMWORK !

All stock C6 corvette with manual transmission still going strong. 💯 Thank you for all you do.

Been there in 2006, awesome experience! Bunch of great hard working people !

this video is great!! hats off to employees at Bowling Green,KY!

I spent three years on the assembly line at Tarrytown N.Y. 1957. 1960 Part of that time was on the Chassis line talk about a. Dark , dinghy , cold in the winter ,sweltering in the Summer place to work sparks flying , smokey deafening noise. This plant looks as clean and sterile as a Hospital Nice working conditions and good pay.

So glad to see the diversity in the shop.

It's wonderful to see American auto workers building a great iconic car like the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. I remember that, living near a college fraternity house, alot of the fellows loved to be able to own this car and impress their girlfriends! These workers are great; I'm so glad to see US workers still making autos here in this country!

Wow. The corvette stingray is a beautiful car. The workers should be proud that they are making such amazing machines. The factory is amazing too.

Been there in '16..Great day; great tour; great plant. Many women on the line.

I remember taking tours years ago at car assembly plants. You could hear all the pneumatic drivers buzzing along, now they are all almost completely silent. Quite a change from the past.

Hey guys I have a 2006 Corvette this is my fourth one and I LOVE IT, driver it everyday 103,321 miles and it runs like its new.

Thank you for building our C7. We love it.

we're filming tomorrow, don't forget to wear you union shirts!

We have been there a few times. Last was when we went to pickup the wife's '03 Anniversary coupe across the street at the Museum. Watching them being built never gets old. Especially like the special tour you get with the Museum delivery. The wife even got to do the "First Start", she enjoyed that. Keep up the good work that you all do. Maybe we will see ya soon, C8 coming.

We took the tour two years ago. Very good, as was the Corvette museum

I retire in 3 years....I am buying a vette. I have said it to my wife and family. I have wanted one since 1964.....I will get a new one. I only wish I was 25 years old.

I have a weird smile on my face as I was watching this. Damn it, Need for Speed! You made me fell in love with Corvette!

Wow seems to be an understatement! Love my Corvette, made in America. It's just awesome to seeing these workers doing their thing! The final inspections and fit / finish is awesome.

I visited there in '86 and was shocked to see a line worker smoking a big 'ol stogey around those beautiful cars.

these are some of the most highly skilled workers I have ever seen

Don't hate on this video. These people are doing God's work!

I built some of the tools used in this video and sold all of the lightweight cranes used. I've been in most of the US auto plants over the last 20 years, and it's pretty cool to see all of the cars and trucks be built.

My home town. I live about 10 miles, from this plant. The city has Corvette reunions, a couple of times each year. Bowling Green gets filled with Corvettes. They are everywhere, during these events.

I'd love to work in a place like this, precise movements, hand-control, tedious but expert, so many details and moving parts!

They look like they are doing a good job to me. They are ALL TAXPAYERS!!!!! Thank you Bowling Green UAW Workers.

I work at a Chevy Dealership As a Tech. Ive driven quite a bit of these newer vehicles. They are truly amazing, very well crafted, the owners dont seem to use them though, the most ive seen is 30k miles on a c7 stingray.

Nice! Got to love a Corvette!

Thank you everyone involved in the making of this fine American super car 👏👏👏👏👏

Work here and build your dream car. This is how I like assembly videos, no loud mouth commentary

I just got a new C7. Only 500 miles on it. I researched the hell out of it's competitors ( most of them foreign) and I went with the new Vette because its a raw V8 rear drive sports car with a great manual gearbox and it looks incredible. I'm not sure watching this video makes me feel better or worse about the reliability I am hoping for with this car. It's not so much the uniforms they are not wearing but watching a 22 year old kid in jeans and a T-shirt screwing together my 70k sports car is an image I'm going to have to forget. This is what has kept American car quality in the low ranks for decades. And I'm from Detroit saying this.

Its fascinating to watch them build a car, especially a cool car like the Corvette!

Keep up the good work guys and gals !!!!!!!

Took the tour of the plant this past week. Pretty impressive! Corvettes are built per order. Typical wait period is like 3 months. You are even invited to come in and help build the engine that will go into your car!

My dad ordered one of these cars in March, and we got told they are building it as we speak, Interesting video I can watch to see what goes into building my dad's new car.

Travelling on I-75 Northbound near Ocala, Florida and saw a whole truckload of C-8 going southbound on the other side, Someone is going to be happy.

So we really can still make things in America! We need more of this throughout the nation.

Very Interesting. Thanks! 👍

Love the box fans hanging from the ceiling lol

The tooling is insane!!. Nice job UAW and manufacturing/production/industrial engineering teams!!

I toured the factory 2 years ago. Now I have to have one......

I think working in a place like this is fun but really really hard work. They should be proud of working in an assembly line for the real American Super car the Corvette!!!!!!

Back a couple years ago I applied to work at this plant. Turns out once you turn 50, no need to bother. They offered me a position on the ground maintenance crew. Too bad they also refused to let me take my shirt off. Some of us older men and women still have it.

What i‘m saying is weird but i like how they don‘t wear uniforms, it makes the car somehow cooler for me and it looks like they work with passion. Looks like a chilled atmosphere, i‘d love to own a corvette build in America one time.

chewing gum and working on a super car with any car is awesome ✌😭✌

Damn, what a sweet-ass looking car! Great job GM!

Back when I was a automotive supplier in 1979, the original Corvette plant ( 8 JPH) was part of the mammoth GMAD St. Louis, MO assembly complex. The Corvette plant was the smallest building next to the large assembly plant building Pickups (50 JPH) and Chevy Caprices (70 JPH) (AKA: B car). This was GM's biggest production plant in the North America at that time. GM moved Corvette production to an all new assembly plant Bowling Green, KY only because the St. Louis city government refused to help and provide a Tax break to GM for a new plant in St Louis. so GM closed the old plant down and left town. Now look at that part of the city in St, Louis, it's a big open eye sore for the city. BTW, when the new plant opened, all Corvette employees were offered a chance to transfer to Bowling Green, all expenses paid by GM. That was a best decision GM made.

I wanna drive my 78 to Bowling Green just to visit the birthplace. 21 is a little young for a Vette but I put it in the budget and have been told these are cars you wanna enjoy at a young age.

I work for a Japanese auto manufacturer and I'm so jealous of these guys being able to wear t-shirts & shorts. It's mid 90's outside & we gotta have long pants on & our long sleeves all the way down and in some areas Kevlar sleeves on top of that oh and now stage 4 cut resistance gloves which are really hot 😪

PRECISION, QUALITY, DEDICATION. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND CHEVROLET.

America's first real sports car evolved over the years, and the UAW workers keep making them roll along. I assume the Bowling Green Plant has almost done the retooling for the new 2020 mid-engine Corvette to be built end of 2019. The guys and gals will be busy for sure once they start selling the end of this year. Keep up the good work guys and gals.

Right on keep up the quality workmanship

Anybody have a big lunchbox and building a 'Vette one piece at a time" ala Johnny Cash? Something to aspire to.....

Well that was easy now to put one in my garage 😍

I just watched a video of the Fort Wayne GM truck plant and read almost nothing but negative comments. They are junk trucks, built by robots and so on. Now I watch the Corvette plant that doesn't appear much different in processing and the comments are almost all positive. Oh the proud UAW craftsman. The production is poetry in motion. The Corvette an amazing machine. People sure have interesting perceptions of things.

Esse carro é top Não é a toa que é o carro madrinha da fórmula Indy nas 500 milhas de Indianápolis Na minha modesta opinião é o melhor carro da montadora e eu como sou fã da GM para mim é o melhor do mundo.

So strange how negative comments have become the norm, people can't find any real issues to complain about so they resort to comments about lack of uniforms or the slow speed of the line.. Try doing that slow speed for 12 hours straight as opposed to watching a 8 minute video.

Excellent video. Nice to see those union workers getting the job done.!

I love my 1964 Corvette Coupe.

Parabéns pelo belíssimo trabalho, meu sonho de carro

I wish i could work here or the camaro factory . Love chevy

It’s so awesome GM let’s their employees wear comfortable clothes while working... it makes such a difference. All the fools saying they need uniforms must be hated at their jobs if in a leadership position. Employees want to be comfortable. They will also work better that way.

Amazing workers.....😊👍

C7s are the sweetest Corvettes yet! I plan on buying one as soon as I retire.

Seeing that guy at the end of the line gapping the hood fitment reminded me of seeing a, then, new 1975 Ford LTD with a trunk lid that didn't line up and was kittywompus from side to side. Couldn't believe it. Nice to see now the attention taken to a detail such as hood fitment.

why are people bitching about not having uniforms? uniforms suck, and the general public dont even see these people working, aside from this video, so why tf would they need a uniform?? I work for a Company Called Alliant Techsystems (ATK) and we produce the vast majority of police, military, and sporting ammunition and we dont have to wear uniforms. It's the best part about the job. you just go to work, no worrying if your uniform is cleaned, or ironed, or any of that BS, and the workers are generally happier about it. I sure as hell am. I couldn't imagine going back to a job that required a uniform now.

I've just watched the same kind of video, but for the Porsche plant. It totally feels like this is from another planet...

Good to see a lot of people involved.

When I hit the lottery I want a 2020 stingray with everything and watch it being built

I've only had very good results with my GM autos .. unlike the German brands I used to own. I'll never, ever, ever .. buy another foreign car .. and no one paid me to say this. Cheers ... hava grt day ~b

Acho o carro mais bonito de todos.

Amazing the machines and technology for building cars.

I would love to work here. Building my dream car. People are complaining about the casual dress, but if they all had uniforms that's all money out of pocket. Gotta find a way to save money some how.

My dream car

I watch this video in amazement that America and Americans can manufacturer a vehicle such as a Corvette or any vehicle it's amazing to see it actually made in front of your eyes go USA

most awesome video ever!!!!

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Assembly Plant

I had a tour of the assembly plant in Kentucky. The first thing I noticed was a man about 30 years old, high top sneakers, flower print pants that he purchased on the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ., a sleeveless untucked t-shirt and a butt hanging out of his mouth. We asked the guide, “how is this possible?” He replied “The UAW. Negotiated it” So there you have it! And more robots to do the work that was once done by people. If you ever watched “A Bronx Tale” Sonny says “Nobody Cares”! And that my friends is why we will become a third world country. And BTW I had 5 Corvettes, 1989, 1995, 1995 ZR-1, 1996 Grand Sport, and a 2000 with A Caravaggio interior and a car on Vette Magazine cover. The new Stingray is the best looking car on the road today. I hope GM can keep it all together. Reports show the auto industry is heading for the crapper!

I have a new respect for these cars and how long it takes to build...

So glad I got to watch how C7s are assembled.

corvette plant cooled with walmart fans. great

7:43 Wish that truck was headed to my house to drop off every single car in my driveway.

Biggest fan of chevy love the chevy corvette stringary assembly factory

Awesome Video!!

I'd hate building them everyday and not be able to afford one!

If I had to work at a car factory this would be the one it looks relaxed and everyone seems happier. I would love to wear shorts at work its so hot during the summer but no...

Love this video can't wait for thee c8 versions of it!!!

Great video!!
