2001 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Personal story and photograph submitted by owner Randy Pierce - courtesy of the National Corvette Museum website - for participation in the National Corvette Museum 2008 Historic Motorama II.
I am recently retired from the Power Company in Cincinnati, Ohio after 37½ years of service. I always liked the Corvette as I was growing up, and after working a few years at a good job, I could finally afford one. I bought a brand new 1973 white with dark red interior and T-Top's. Since then, I have always had a Corvette in the stable. In 1993, I became a lifetime member of the Corvette Museum number 214. I enjoy the Corvette Museum by volunteering at a few events each year.
At one time the garage held four Corvettes, but now I'm down to only three. A 1973 dark blue convertible, which was in the 50th Anniversary Historic Motorama (this was one of the best trips I had ever been on). The other cars are both 2001 Speedway White Z06's with red/black interior. One is stock and the other is considered an exotic.
It is a great honor to be selected for this 100th Anniversary Caravan for Chevrolet. I can't wait to meet all the participants of the Historic Motorama II and become friends with all.
See Ya in September,
Randy Pierce
Lifetime Member #214
The Car:
When GM celebrates the beginning of its next 100 years on September 16, 2008, 55 Corvettes will be on display outside its World Headquarters at Detroit’s Renaissance Center. The Corvettes are in fact the Historic Motorama II, a caravan from the National Corvette Museum (NCM) which is comprised of one example from each of the 55 years of Corvette production. The caravan will depart from the National Corvette Museum on September 10th with stops along the way. People attending the GMnext Day activities on September 16th will be able to view the Corvettes before and after the official program.
Look at the next Historic Motorama II Corvette participant, representing a cross-section of Corvette enthusiasts from across the country.
