Bowling Green KY is so close to Nashville that we couldn't miss going on the GM factory tour to see Corvettes being made and to the Corvette museum. Drew has owned seven Corvettes over his 66 years and still has a love affair with them. The tour of the assembly plant was really interesting. While very automated, it was surprising to see how much is still done by hand. About 120 Corvettes roll off the line each day and 90% are pre-sold. Demand doesn't seem to have diminished for this classic American sports car. Part of the Corvette Museum has the cars displayed in period themes of their day. Another section is devoted to racing honors, another to design and engineering. The museum had a 1953 just like Drew's first Corvette, color and all. So today was about Drew reliving his youth!
